Have you ever been in a situation where you had to exchange sex for money, food, or a place to stay?

Has someone made money off your body?

If so, you are not alone.

Whether you need a place to sleep right now, food to eat, or help untangling your life, call Children of the Night at 1-800-551-1300, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It is a free call. They will listen and, if you want, connect you to people close to wherever you are calling from that can help you get safe.

Don’t wait. Call now. You are worth it.
