Abstract
The commercial sexual exploitation of children and child sex trafficking are crimes committed against youth. There is a growing body of literature that describes both the detrimental psychological and physical effects of the repeated trauma that occurs as a result of these crimes. Yet huge gaps in education and awareness of sex trafficking exist. Victims/survivors of sex trafficking are seeking healthcare. Can you recognize them? What do you do once you suspect a patient is a victim of sex trafficking?
