Commercial sexual exploitation, also known as child sex trafficking, is a grave form of child abuse that impacts countless youth within Los Angeles County. Youth at highest risk of commercial sexual exploitation are often the most vulnerable. Salient risk factors include poverty, histories of running away, adverse childhood experiences, and having a minority status due to racial/ethnic, sexual, or gender identity. Educators and school personnel play a critical role in the the development and implementation of effective prevention and intervention strategies that protect youth from commercial sexual exploitation. This workshop is designed to equip the school-based personnel with knowledge on how to identify students at high-risk or experiencing exploitation, so that appropriate response mechanisms can be put into place.
