facts on sex trafficking

Minnesota

Exploring the facts of sexual exploitation within our own community, particularly in Minnesota, is a crucial step towards understanding and addressing this pervasive issue. Despite its serene landscapes and tight-knit communities, Minnesota is not immune to the insidious grasp of sexual exploitation. By delving into local statistics, stories, and the realities faced by survivors in our neighborhoods, we gain a more intimate perspective on the gravity of this problem. Shedding light on the prevalence of exploitation, the tactics being used, the vulnerabilities that are targeted, and the mechanisms of support and prevention is imperative. Only by confronting the uncomfortable truths close to home can we effectively advocate for change, foster safer environments, and offer meaningful support to those affected by these egregious acts.

“On the line” podcast

Human trafficking is the fastest growing criminal enterprise in the world.

Conversation and knowledge is key to protecting our youth. Corrie’s House is committed to empowering our community with knowledge and tools to prevent sexual exploitation. We facilitated a 90 minute On The Line podcast, hosted by Pastor Bryan Stecker of Trinity Waconia Church with guest speaker, Ashley Moore of C.A.S.T. (Citizens Against Sex Trafficking). This bi-weekly podcast, reaching 1,500-3,000 viewers, provided a highly informative discussion where viewers heard how exploiters target youth and how to help prevent it. We thank Trinity Waconia Church for leading these important conversations, and we highly recommend making time to listen! Click here for the full interview
