Men and boys are trafficked and sexually exploited in the U.S.

Data shows that men and boys made up more than 1/3rd of those exploited in the sex trade. However, there are virtually no services available to male victims and survivors of trafficking and exploitation. They are often overlooked, misunderstood, stereotyped, ignored, and left without support.

It does not have to be this way. Together we can find a solution.

EMMAUS is a Christian non-profit working to prevent exploitation and empower male survivors of the sex trade to rebuild their lives.

We aim to provide a trustworthy and significant solution for people to support in faith, with confidence that we are making a real difference in the lives of hurting men and boys.

We need you to join the fight to end trafficking and exploitation for ALL mankind.

You can make a difference.

Trafficking and Exploitation are big problems. But together we can find a solution.

Donors, supporters, and volunteers have been the heart and soul of EMMAUS for 30 years. Wherever you are in life, you can bring hope to male-identifying victims of trafficking and exploitation, empowering them to leave the sex trade and rebuild their lives.
