Sex Trafficking Is a Harsh Reality in Placer County!

Every 2 minutes a child is sold into sex trafficking. 4.8 Million people are victims of sex trafficking today. 300,000 American children are victims of commercial sexual exploitation each year. The Average age of entry into the commercial sex market is 12 years old.

My name is Emma, and I am a survivor of sex trafficking.

Being sex trafficked in Placer County almost broke me, but I refuse to be defined by my past. Upon release from incarceration, Stand Up Placer gave me a safe place to stay and the support to reclaim my life. With their help, I found permanent housing, employment, and the strength to move forward. Every week, I meet with my case manager, attend therapy, and connect with others in the sex trafficking support group. I am rebuilding my future and fighting to reunite with my son. Stand Up Placer gave me a second chance—proof that courage, resilience, and community can heal even the deepest wounds. The greatest gift a parent can receive is the safe return of their child rescued from sex trafficking.

Your support means safety. Your support saves lives.
