Sex Trafficking is the act by which individuals are recruited, transported, or solicited into the commercial sex industry through force, fraud, or coercion. Christopher Columbus was the first trafficker in the Americas, taking men, women, and children away from their communities to be enslaved and exploited by the foreign power he served. Colonization has made trafficking a major crisis in Native communities today. At CSVANW, we support tribal communities in developing their capacity to identify and respond to trafficking, and uplift the advocates who are already doing the incredible work of advocacy for trafficking survivors.
