Data on the study of human trafficking showed that millions are trafficked, and the state of Texas had the ninth highest rate of trafficking in the United States.
There are roughly 30 million people being trafficked at any given time, according to a study by the Internation Labor Organization.Human trafficking is a global problem. In Central Texas, there are local groups like 'Jesus Said Love' working to try and stop it."We'd go into the clubs to the women who were on the front lines of selling sex to customers and we would engage them with simple gift bags," she recalled.
"It's definitely something people need to be mindful of because it does happen, and it happens in our area as well," Kim Clark with the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services said.Movies often depict trafficking as children being kidnapped and sold by strangers. "No one is immune and everyone has to keep their eyes open because that's the only way we're going to get ahead of this."
"Anyone who doesn't have that healthy attached safe family of origin is going to be more at risk," Mills said.
