Resource Guide

Here, I have listed 15 resources that I have found great interest in. I think these sites can help you learn and understand the global issue of child sex trafficking in more detail. They include foundations, news reports, statistics, scholarly journals, videos, and so forth on worldwide sex trafficking.

1. http://demiandashton.org/ I saw this link through Twitter, and I thought it was great two prominent celebrities are making a large effort to stop child sex slavery worldwide. They’re bringing awareness to a global issue rather than their fame.

2. http://www.sharedhope.org/ My father had told me about a woman named Linda Smith who is the founder of “shared hope,” which helps rescue women and children from sex trafficking internationally. Her website is very intriguing.
