While the Epstein files have drawn attention to sex trafficking it is important to recognize that many organizations have been involved in the fight for decades. One organization is the Polaris Project. This report presents information on survivor experiences.

How could @ourworldindata.org maps be better?

Do you experience any annoyances or pain points when you interact with our maps?

Is there something you wish you could do that you currently can’t?
