The Realities of Human Trafficking

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about the crisis of human trafficking.

Every day, homeless kids around the world are forced to make impossible choices — who to trust and how to survive. Traffickers know what to look for in a target, and these predators know how to manipulate young people into doing things they never could have imagined before.

Covenant House is confronting human trafficking from every angle. Our outreach teams seek to identify potential victims on the street and get them to safety. We work with law enforcement and elected leaders to stop trafficking and ensure justice. And we provide shelter, medical care, mental health support, and legal help to survivors, all at no cost to the youth.

Nearly 1 in 5 youth in our care at Covenant House sites in the U.S. and Canada are survivors of human trafficking. Please take a moment to show them your compassion and help them heal.
