GSU Study Highlights High Human Trafficking Risk Among Atlanta Homeless Youth

More than half of all homeless youth in Atlanta have experienced some form of human trafficking. The ‘Atlanta Youth Count’ – a Georgia State University study – surveyed over 500 young people who are homeless on everything from personal demographic information to childhood trauma to their relationships with their peers. The new study paints a harrowing – and, at times, hopeful – picture of the young people living on Atlanta’s streets.
