This article by Simplemost explains the work Saved in America is doing to counteract and fight back against the horrors of human trafficking within the United States. While many people know about human trafficking globally, fewer understand the impact it is having within America’s borders. While it is a worldwide problem, it is booming in our beloved nation. In fact, in 2017, there were 4,460 cases of human trafficking within America. This 290 million dollar industry within America’s cities, nets more than $50 billion yearly worldwide. So, it is a big evil that deserves the attention of some of America’s best.

What Saved in America is Doing

Thankfully, even as the problem rages within the borders of the United States, Saved in America is fighting back. They are working in conjunction with missing children’s families and law enforcement to track down and find these missing kids, ideally before they become victims of the human trafficking industry. The all-volunteer organization of SIA utilizes the skills of former law enforcement officers along with retired military specialists to do the necessary work to find these missing kids and get them back to a safe location and into therapy to hopefully be able to live a happy, healthy life. 

100 % Success Rate

Saved in America, which is based in San Diego, California, a booming hub for human trafficking with estimated numbers of between 3,400 and 8,100 victims per year just in this area, making it one of the 13 highest child sex trafficking areas in the entire United States, has enjoyed a 100% success rate when they get involved in the case. This means that in 100% of the cases they have been involved in, numbering over 300 to date, they have been able to get results, find the missing child, and get them the help they need.

What The Public Needs to Know

Awareness is key in terms of what the public needs to know about human trafficking. Many people are simply unaware of the scope of the problem in America, which makes it harder to fight back against these evils. The more people who know this is going on means more people with eyes look for victims and say something when they see something. This is the key to fighting back against this evil.
