This past week, we attended “Daily Beast Women in the World 2011” in New York City. It was an inspiring couple of days with women leaders from all over the world who are working on a number of important issues, including sex trafficking in the United States.
Actress Ashley Judd spoke at the conference and shared a powerful personal story about child sex trafficking. You can watch it here.
Up to 300,000 children in the United States are victims of the sex trade. The average age of children being forced into prostitution in this country is 12 years and it is getting younger and younger.
3 Generations is shining a light on this complex and growing human rights abuse. Through stories and targeted partnerships we want the public to understand the truth and take action. We have a number of stories currently on our website and over the next few months we will be sharing more.
Please watch and share our stories and join our campaign on Facebook or Twitter.
Together we can end this human rights abuse.
