WHY IS THE U.S. GOVERNMENT DISCRIMINATING
AGAINST AMERICAN KIDS?
HELP US END THE GOVERNMENT'S BAN
ON AID TO AMERICAN VICTIMS OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING
Every year, over 250,000 American kids fall victim to commercial sexual exploitation.
Under federal law, they are victims of human trafficking. This means that 11 of every
12 victims of human trafficking in the U.S. are our own children.
Every year, the U.S. Congress gives the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (
HHS) $10 million to help victims of human trafficking rebuild their lives. HHS has determined that none of this
money can be used to assist victims who are U.S. citizens -- even though most victims are American and are under 18.
The leadership of HHS has decided this $10 million can only be used to aid foreign victims (most of whom are adults).
Please help the Renewal Forum end this government discrimination against American kids
who are victims of human trafficking. Click on the link below to sign our petition to Secretary of Health and
Human Services Kathleen Sebelius.
Thank you for your willingness to take a stand on this urgent issue.
