Since 2005, Project Meridian Foundation (PMF) has assisted with the
identification and rescue of more than 1,400 human and sex trafficking
victims of all ages in the U.S. The profits associated with this
industry are growing every year and globally it is estimated that
human trafficking and enslavement have an astonishing annual street
value of over $34 billion dollars.
Many Americans believe that human and sex trafficking only occurs in
third world countries; however, this is not the case. Human and sex
trafficking is a local problem that needs to be recognized by American
citizens. It is because of the “illusion”, that something such as
sex trafficking could not be prevalent in the U.S., that Project
Meridian Foundation has not had the funding needed to take the
necessary actions to help stop this industry. It is reported that
human and sex trafficking affects over four million people per year.
Of these four million people, it is estimated that more than one
million are American children between the ages 11 and 17 who are
victimized and trafficked across state lines. Gangs throughout the
United States including New York, California, Virginia and many others
are responsible for kidnapping and enslaving young girls for purposes
of prostitution.
Project Meridian Foundation is an organization of professionals from
a wide variety of backgrounds working towards one common goal:
bringing human and sex trafficking to an end. Nathan Wilson,
Founder/CEO of Project Meridian Foundation (PMF) has created this
organization which has a two-fold mission. PMF’s first mission is to
assist in the identification, capture, and prosecution of human and
sex traffickers by cooperating with international, federal, state, and
local law enforcement agencies. The second mission of PMF is to
rehabilitate the children and young women who are victims of human and
sex trafficking through Operation Safe House.
It is time to fight for those who can’t fight for themselves, for
those who are so overpowered by fear that they are stuck in this
horrendous lifestyle, for those that are too afraid to call out for
help. It is time for American citizens to join together and bring
these predators to justice and leave behind a safer world for our
children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and neighbors to grow up in.
