Ga. church fights sex-trafficking in its neighborhood with coalition to end teen prostitution
Associated Press Published: June 17, 2009
ATLANTA (AP) — Members of the North Avenue Presbyterian Church in Atlanta learned in 2005 that teenage prostitutes had begun working within a few steps of the church’s doors.
In the four years since then, the church has helped build a wide-ranging coalition with the goal of eradicating child prostitution from the streets of Atlanta.
Included in the fight are Presbyterians, Roman Catholics, conservative Christians, feminists, Jews, Muslims and others. They have formed “Street Grace,“ an acronym for Galvanizing Resources Against Child Exploitation.

The coalition sent hundreds of volunteers this year to lobby at the Capitol for anti-trafficking legislation. Members also are paying for safehouses for child prostitutes, more than tripling the number of beds from seven to 23.
