Watch Webinar About Human Trafficking Statistics from Cedar Rapids, Iowa and the Midwest

    Did you know that the number of identified human trafficking victims is on the rise in Iowa and that half of those reported to the Human Trafficking Hotline of Iowa are minors? Also, one out of three teenagers on the streets, as well as runaways, are approached for commercial sexual exploitation within 48 hours. In Iowa, the Attorney General’s Office states the experience in Iowa is closer to 36 hours. And one study suggests that 74 percent of victims of human trafficking said they were in the foster care system. Bankers Trust welcomed Teresa Davidson, co-founder of Chains Interrupted to share her experiences of human trafficking in our communities and how to combat the issue.
