This document discusses commercial sexual exploitation and domestic minor sex trafficking. It notes that between 100,000-300,000 children in the US are currently being prostituted, with an additional 200,000 at risk each year. Texas has a high rate of both international and domestic human trafficking due to major cities, transportation routes, and events. Victims often come from broken families, are runaways, and 70-90% experienced prior sexual abuse. There is a lack of protective shelters that can meet victims' complex needs. National discussions focus on identifying resources for shelters, licensing and maintaining facilities, and developing therapeutic and programmatic responses based on a victim-centered approach.
