To prevent trafficking, you have to know that traffickers use vulnerabilities to target victims. There are many factors that cause vulnerability.

A key to preventing trafficking is knowing that traffickers use youth's vulnerabilities to target their victims. Throughout this month, we’re taking a closer look at the forces that make children vulnerable – and why.

“I am so happy here with Love146. I can really focus and study now. I can also take a bath here and don’t get bullied anymore. I can get medicine if I’m sick. Because of this new home, I do not have to be sold on the street.”

Founded 18 years ago, Love146 journeys alongside children impacted by trafficking today and prevents the trafficking of children tomorrow. We connect the dots to understand how vulnerability operates in the lives of children, and intervene both to care for survivors who have been harmed and ultimately to prevent harm from happening in the first place. Our work is achieved through the power of relationships and collaboration, listening to those with lived experience and diverse backgrounds, scaling proven practices, and challenging the systems that leave children vulnerable. Our prevention and survivor care work has impacted more than 57,000 young people. Our core commitment is to do what is best for children.
