Men and boys are trafficked and sexually exploited in the U.S.

Data shows that men and boys made up more than 1/3rd of those exploited in the sex trade. However, there are virtually no services available to male victims and survivors of trafficking and exploitation. They are often overlooked, misunderstood, stereotyped, ignored, and left without support.
