B. Human Trafficking Survivor Support

Domestic Minor Sex Trafficking (DMST) is a unique form of abuse that jeopardizes the emotional and physical health and safety of minors for the purpose of collateral gain. Children are often manipulated or forced into “the life” of sex trafficking, where their well-being is viewed as secondary to their potential to earn a profit for their exploiters. Victims of DMST may be at risk of contracting sexually transmitted infections (STIs), demonstrating difficulty forming healthy and supportive relationships, experiencing homelessness, and dropping out of school, thereby limiting their future educational and career opportunities.
