History
In 2007, Christian and community leaders in Arizona became aware of the growing pandemic of child sex trafficking occurring throughout the United States and in their own backyard. In response, we developed a dynamic case study of the potential for solving problems through multi-sector cooperation. Our collaboration include faith communities, major law enforcement agencies (from local vice units to State and U.S. Attorney Generals), medical field, social services, mayor’s offices, like-minded non-profits, Homeland Security and the FBI, students and faculty of leading universities, the business sector and thousands of individuals zealous to play a role in eradicating this injustice. The multi-sector cooperation created a three tier strategy: Awareness, Prevention and Direct Care that guides StreetLightUSA’s work today in fulfilling its mission.
