On Wednesday at the Dream Center,Gov. Doug Ducey and Cindy McCain, co-chairs of the Arizona Human Trafficking Council,discussed their work to slow human trafficking and work with victims like Megan. Cronkite News does not identify victims of sexual abuse.
Megan, who said she hasn’t used heroin for four months, plans to enroll in school and eventually become a math teacher. She wore a T-shirt reading “Straight Outta Hope Wing,” the fabric matching her ivory-polished nails.
The Dream Center has helped more than 1,500 children and young adults affected by human trafficking, according to its website.
As a border state, Arizona is a major hub for human trafficking around the world, according to trustaz.org. According to the Arizona Human Trafficking Council, less than 2 percent of human trafficking victims are ever identified.
The council said the average age in Arizona to enter sex trafficking is 14.
