Keeping Girls Safe from Sex Trafficking

105 children, mostly girls, were recently rescued from a nationwide sex trafficking ring. Make no mistake, these children are not prostitutes--they are being trafficked and many of them are in foster care. 

The Los Angeles Times reported, "According to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, the information clearinghouse that tracks missing child reports in the United States, 60% of runaways who are victims of sex trafficking had been in the custody of social services or in foster care." Moreover, "Half of sexually trafficked minors in California come from the foster care system."

Legacy School for Girls seeks to change these statistics by engaging and educating girls in a therapeutic, stable and safe environment. Join us in this effort and support Legacy School for Girls today.
