Child Sex Trafficking: NCMEC Data, Response & Resources

“In 2021, the NCMEC responded to over 17,000 cases of child sex trafficking related to both missing and non-missing children. These growing number of reports have not only led to NCMEC providing analytical and victim services support to individual cases but have also provided a tremendous amount of data and information about this often hard to identify type of child abuse. During this session, participants will be provided an overview of the most recent trends NCMEC has observed related to child sex trafficking including information specific to impact of the Preventing Sex Trafficking and Strengthening Families Act passage and implementation. They will also learn about NCMEC’s comprehensive response to child sex trafficking reports including analysis, technical assistance, case management and survivor-centered support and how to access these services.”
