Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) are disproportionately represented in human trafficking statistics. Here are some statistics that show the racial disparities in trafficking: Black youth Black children are more likely to be arrested for juvenile prostitution (child sexual abuse) than other racial groups, making up 53% of all arrests. Black girls are also more likely to be trafficked at a younger age. For example, in King County, Washington, 52% of child sex trafficking victims are Black, even though Black children and adults only make up 7% of the population. Black women According to a two-year review of suspected human trafficking incidents, 40% of sex trafficking victims were Black women. In Cook County, Illinois, 66% of sex trafficking victims between 2012-2016 were Black women. In Nebraska, 50% of people sold online for sex are Black, even though Black people only make up 5% of the population. The National Human Trafficking Hotline also reports that Latinos are disproportionately represented among human trafficking victims and survivors. The sources of these statistics are The Polaris Project, The Congressional Black Caucus Foundation, and Rights4Girls. #juneteenth #bipoc #survivorleaders

On this National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we stand in solidarity with Indigenous communities and honour the resilience and strength of those affected by the residential school system. 🧡    The legacy of colonialism and the residential school system has contributed to the ongoing cycles of trauma and domestic violence within Indigenous communities. At Discovery House, we are committed to providing better support for Indigenous families as they heal from intergenerational trauma and the traumatic cycle of domestic violence. We do this through creating culturally safe environments and practices, fostering meaningful and lasting partnerships, and supporting initiatives that empower Indigenous voices.
