“More than half of the homeless youth in metro Atlanta have experienced human trafficking, with minority and LGBTQ youth being more likely to be forced into working against their will,”

“They tend to be black or African American, more often are LGBTQ youth, and tend to be youth who have been in the juvenile justice or foster care system previously,”

“youth who experienced childhood trauma – including incarceration of a close family member, mental illness or substance abuse in the home, parental domestic violence and sexual, physical or psychological abuse – were at greater risk.”

“Youth with at least three of those risk factors were almost 2.5 times more likely to experience trafficking while homeless.”
