In our work to combat trafficking we frequently see young people being groomed into being sex trafficked. Our goal for the night is to help increase your awareness of the issue of child trafficking and dispel some of the myths you may have heard.
About the Documentary
In Children For Sale: Texas’ Trafficked Kids, Unreported World follows the private detective and armed bounty hunters trying to rescue teenagers from Houston’s sex trafficking underworld. Reporter Yousra Elbagir follows the heart-breaking search of one mother looking for her daughter Kristen, who was trafficked into prostitution when she was just 15 years old.
The city of Houston, Texas, is at the centre of a sex trafficking crack-down. There are more reported cases of child sex trafficking here than any other city in the United States. The problem has become so bad that Texas is now the first state to make buying sex a felony, punishable by at least 6 months in prison.
CONTENT WARNING: While the film doesn’t contain any nudity, it features discussions and images of a sexual nature that some viewers will find disturbing. We recommend the film for mature teens and above.
