Simply put, sex trafficking is forced prostitution. According to the Polaris Project, anti-trafficking organization in Washington D.C., sex trafficking is defined as, "the recruiting, harboring, transporting, providing, obtaining, patronizing or scrutinizing of an individual through the means of force, fraud or coercion for the purpose of commercial sex." And contrary to popular belief, sex trafficking is extremely common right here in Orange County, CA. As a matter of fact, traffickers find Orange County an attractive place to do business, as girls and women can make more money here.
Though our organization has mostly worked with sex trafficking victims, we are open to working with labor trafficking victims as well. Labor trafficking, another form of human trafficking, is no less a major issue and social ill. We take all forms of human trafficking seriously.
HOOC, NFP fully understands that victims and survivors have many needs, both immediate and long term. HOOC, NFP's services are set to provide a foundation for women to begin the work of valuing one's self. Though this is a process and does not happen overnight, HOOC, NFP's services provide a great starting point to encourage women to start doing the necessary life work. We are a consistent support system, and we are ready to meet women right where they are.
