Atlanta ranks as one of the world's leading cities for the trafficking of women and children. In fact, we are #13 in the world - in the world! Each month, approximately 500 girls are trafficked in Atlanta. Nearly 7,200 men knowingly or unknowingly purchase sex from adolescent girls. The average age of child exploitation is only 14. That's horrifying. What's even more troublesome is how few Georgians are aware of this nightmare happening on our streets everyday.
