If you’ve seen the recent coverage, children in the above-mentioned communities are continuing to experience lack of attention and support when their loved ones are missing. It’s unimaginable to know you have a loved one missing and because the color of your skin support is limited. The most affected being the children. 

More than 250,000 women of all ages went missing in the United States in 2021, and more than a third of those cases were Black women and girls, according to the National Crime and Information Center, which collects data on missing women nationwide. In 2020, 268,884 women were reported missing, and nearly 100,000 were Black women and girls. Black women account for less than 15% of the U.S. population, but more than one-third of all missing women.

Black women face a particularly high risk of being killed at the hands of a man. According to the FBI, at least four Black women were murdered per day in 2020. That staggering number is probably an undercount, as crimes against Black women go unreported. When it comes to human trafficking, Black women are at increased risk here as well. As outlined in the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation report on human trafficking, in a two-year study of human trafficking incidents across the country. Black women, girls, and gender nonconforming people are disproportionately represented as victims/survivors of trafficking. Black women make up 40% of people who have survived sex trafficking. Black youth comprise 51% of all prostitution arrests for those under age 18—more than any other racial group. 

within the last 3 months Dock Ellis Foundation and revived a large amount of media attention regarding our aggressive campaign calling on the community to help bring the missing home.
