This report explores how girls of color experience unique forms and rates of trauma, as well as higher rates of school discipline and involvement in the juvenile justice system. In addition to increasing the risk for other negative outcomes, this also raises their vulnerability to domestic sex trafficking, as reflected in their disproportionately high rates of representation among trafficking survivors.
