SEXUAL EXPLOITATION
#NotHereNotOurKids
SEXUAL EXPLOITATION IS IN MINNESOTA
In 2017 in Minnesota, 2,525 people were exploited.
There were also 401 trafficking investigations with 182 arrests and 96 charges.
1.3% of Minnesota's high school students traded sex for something of value in 2019.
During spring 2020, Safe Avenues saw a 30% increase in calls.
Sexual exploitation is not only in Minnesota, it's right here in our rural communities.
Get Involved. Donate. End it!
