Sex Trafficking Resources
There is an unfortunate lack of reliable data on the problem of sex trafficking in Indian country. This lack of reliable data is tied to the limited amount of methodologically sound research, articles, and reports on the topic. However, the limited Native-specific research that has been done, and anecdotal evidence, suggest that Native women and girls are over represented in the sex industry and that sex trafficking disproportionately impacts Native women and girls.
