Georgia Cares is a statewide nonprofit organization based in Atlanta, Georgia, focused on serving survivors of child sex trafficking. Its mission is to ensure that these youths receive quality care and services, with a vision of eradicating child sex trafficking in Georgia and helping survivors achieve safety, health, and well-being. The organization operates as the single point of entry for youth under 18 who are victims of domestic minor sex trafficking or commercially sexually exploited children, coordinating identification, screening, and connection to appropriate services. With a small staff, Georgia Cares operates within the nonprofit sector to support survivors by recognizing them as victims of sexual abuse and guiding them toward relevant treatment and resources. The initiative originated in 2009 as part of the Governor’s Office for Children and Families as a component of Georgia’s response to human trafficking, positioning the organization within state-level efforts to address this issue.
