It's closer than you think.

Human trafficking is a multi-billion dollar criminal industry that has impacted the lives of at least 24.9 million people around the world, but it’s not just a world issue. It’s right in our backyards.

The Ohio Attorney General's office estimates that 1,078 Ohio children and teens are sex trafficked every year, with a median age of 13 years old.

Currently, Ohio ranks fourth in the nation for human trafficking, yet 24 out of our 88 counties have no human-trafficking training or access to victim services.
