Sex trafficking makes the world unsafe for girls.
Girlhood should be a time of exploration, not exploitation. But for 5 million women and girls, their futures are in their traffickers' hands, not their own. Join people from all around the world protecting the joy of girlhood.
This one’s for the girls.

A trafficker trapped Kajari* in a brothel at just 15 years old.
Before care

Sex buyers and the traffickers used, violated, and beat her, causing some of the most excruciating physical and emotional pain a human can go through for years. And then Kajari found out she was pregnant—with a girl.‍

‍She knew what it would mean to bring a girl into the world she was trapped in, but she saw no other choice, and she gave birth to Maya.* Six years later, Kajari began to notice the men looking at Maya the same way they looked at her.

Something clicked for her then: she had to find a way out of this life for her daughter. She contacted an Atlas Free Network Member who was able to take Maya to the safety of their children’s home, where Kajari knew she would live in safety and have a bright future.

Maya is safe today, but Kajari isn’t. Her traffickers defined her girlhood. But she still deserves to define her own future. Fight for Kajari. Fight for Maya.
*Story inspired by a courageous survivor in the Atlas Free Network.

Girlhood is priceless.
And it’s on the line.

At 5, she is curious and carefree.
Asking questions that start and end with 'Why?' She's solving her first math problem, learning the magic of a great story, and writing her name. She just lost her first tooth and plans to catch the tooth fairy. But all that changes if she's growing up in human trafficking—joy turns to fear, and girlhood is far from carefree.

At 7, she's ditching her training wheels, learning empathy, and gearing up for new adventures, like 'Take Your Daughter to Work Day' with Dad or that field trip to the zoo. She's forming deeper connections with friends and getting more insightful by the day. But if trafficking enters the picture, her girlhood memories are replaced with ones of fear and abuse.

Approaching double digits, she's sure of two things: her love for family game night and that she'll beat her brother this time. Passionate about fractions and her faith, she pours her heart into everything she does. After school, she enjoys dance-offs with friends and fills every room with laughter. But if she’s trapped in trafficking, her 10th birthday will be one she'd rather forget, not celebrate.

At 11, she's getting lost in chapter books, volunteering with her big sister at Sunday school, and scoring goals on the soccer field. She's discovering her love for baking and hosted her first bake sale to raise money for the big class trip. These experiences will define her girlhood. But if trafficking shadows her story, fun-filled memories are a thing of the past and her future is no longer hers to determine.

At 13, she's getting ready for her first school dance, cringing a bit when her dad parks too close to school and learning to play guitar like her mom. She excels in honors English and leads Spanish club meetings with her friends. But the moment trafficking takes control of her life, girlhood comes to a halt, and her abusers dictate her every move, robbing her of autonomy and choice.

At 15, she's tries out for speech and debate—she makes it. She's volunteering at a local shelter, shaping her opinions and fearlessly challenging norms. She's figuring out what matters, what she stands for, and maybe even who she wants to become. But the moment she falls victim to sex trafficking, her future is no longer in her hands. Abusers control every move, and dreams fade.

Her girlhood should belong to her, not to traffickers.

What is the Fight for Girls?

At this very moment, 78% of all identified sex trafficking victims are women and girls, totaling roughly 5 million trapped in sexual exploitation every day.* And those are just the ones who have been identified. Their girlhood is priceless, and right now, it’s on the line. Every person was made with inherent dignity and value, and their freedom from human trafficking is worth fighting for. 

Globally, human trafficking is the fastest-growing illegal enterprise, generating $236 billion in profit—that's more than McDonald's, PepsiCo, and Disney combined.* This debut year of ‘Fight for Girls’ is our time to take a stand against that and is dedicated to every girl who deserves the opportunity to be in school, not in a brothel. It's for every girl who deserves to grow up in an environment of safety and love, not exploitation and abuse. Sex trafficking may make the world unsafe for women and girls, but together we can change that.

What is sex trafficking?

Sex trafficking is when someone uses force, lies, or intimidation to cause another person to perform a commercial sex act.

It is the practice of illegally transporting people from one country or area to another for the purpose of sexual exploitation. It is the act of profiting from the exploitation of men, women, and children through prostitution, pornography, public or private sexual exhibition, public or private exhibitions of a sexual nature, sex tourism, or any other paid sexual activity.

Globally, human trafficking is the fastest-growing illegal enterprise, generating $236 billion in profit—that's more than McDonald's, PepsiCo, and Disney combined.

Are you fighting for girls in the United States?

Yes, we have 10 Atlas Free Network Members in the United States who intervene, prevent, advocate, and disrupt sex trafficking and exploitation, ultimately helping to create freedom for victims of sex trafficking. In places like New York, Washington State, Tennessee, Alabama, and more—our Network Members are supporting survivors' journey to freedom and giving them tools for their restoration and healing. We are fighting online child exploitation in the United States, working with AI experts, policymakers, and organizations, systematically taking traffickers offline and holding them accountable for their actions.

Where does human trafficking occur?

Sex trafficking happens in every country in every part of the world—no community is immune. Sex trafficking happens in homes, schools, legal and illegal brothels, illicit massage parlors, hotels, strip clubs, cantinas, escort services, street prostitution, online sex acts, pornography, and any other place where traffickers and buyers can think of.

In collaboration with a global network, we have built a holistic framework that addresses essential issues in four key areas to resource the fight against sex trafficking and exploitation. See how we work here.
