The Blaze. United States.
Dual studies released on Monday found a staggering number of homeless children in the United States are victims of human trafficking.
According to the reports—which were conducted by The Field Center for Children’s Policy, the University of Pennsylvania and the Modern Slavery Research Project at Loyola University (New Orleans)—nearly 20 percent of the 911 homeless youth interviewed claimed to be victims of human trafficking. Fifteen percent claimed to have been trafficked for sex, and 7.4 percent said they were trafficked for labor.
