On Wednesday, September 4, 2024 at a press conference in Los Angeles County, federal and local law enforcement and government agencies announced a collaborative effort called the Figueroa Corridor Human Trafficking Initiative to target human traffickers, especially those who exploit children on the Los Angeles street.

Children as young as 11 are lured out of their homes and bought and sold for s*x on Figueroa.

As part of the Los Angeles Regional Human Trafficking Task Force, ZOE has supported many of the children terrorized by these traffickers and remains committed to protecting children and supporting families.

Together, let’s stand with these vulnerable children to bring hope and freedom from exploitation, and end child trafficking.
