Every year, thousands of boys and young men fall victim to the ​country's flourishing sex trade. A lot of them are vulnerable to ​traffickers and sex buyers because of homelessness and poverty.

Runaways and missing youth in ​Illinois face a high risk of ​exploitation, mainly because of ​involvement in multiple systems and ​insufficient support. The ​intersection of these various ​systems often exposes these ​individuals to danger, leading to a ​lack of essential protection.

Tragically, most programs and services have been designed with a ​female-centric approach, leaving our male counterparts in the ​shadows, their voices unheard and their needs unmet.

While the exploitation of girls and women has been the ​primary focus of public awareness and support efforts, the ​harsh reality is that boys and male teens are just as ​vulnerable, if not more so, to this devastating crime.

  • Boys are particularly vulnerable to commercial sexual/labor exploitation due to factors such as poverty, homelessness, lack of social support, and discrimination based on gender and sexual orientation.


  • According to the latest statistics, a significant number of boys worldwide are victims of commercial sexual/labor exploitation, with numbers continuing to rise.


  • Research shows that boys exploited in these industries often suffer from physical and psychological trauma, leading to long-term consequences on their health and well-being.


  • High-risk factors for boys include lack of awareness about their rights, limited access to protective services, and societal stigma that hinders reporting and intervention efforts.


  • Studies indicate that boys impacted by commercial sexual/labor exploitation are at a higher risk of substance abuse, mental health disorders, and re-victimization.

It is imperative to address these high-risk factors, raise ​awareness, and implement targeted interventions to protect ​boys from exploitation and provide them with the necessary ​support for recovery and empowerment.
