(4) Of 22,326 trafficking victims and survivors 
identified through contacts with the National 
Human Trafficking Hotline in 2019, at least 5,359 
were under age 18. 
(5) Many underage victims of sex trafficking 
are students in the United States school system. No 
community, school, socioeconomic group, or student 
demographic is immune. 
(6) While the internet and social media make 
up the majority of first encounters, traffickers regu-
larly find young people in shopping malls, through 
friends, at bus stops, and at schools. Specifically, 
traffickers systematically target vulnerable children 
and youth by frequenting locations where young peo-
ple congregate, including schools. They also use 
peers or classmates, who befriend the target and 
slowly groom them for the trafficker by bringing the 
young person along to parties and other activities. 
(7) A 2018 survey reported that 55 percent of 
young sex trafficking survivors in Texas were traf-
ficked while at school or school activities and 60 per-
cent of trafficked adults say they were first groomed 
and solicited for trafficking on school campuses. 
(8) Schools can and should be safe havens for 
students. Schools are best positioned to identify and

to report instances of sex trafficking, attempted sex

ficking where they feel most safe from harm and

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. 
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘No Trafficking Zones 
Act’’ or the ‘‘NTZ Act’’. 
SEC. 2. FINDINGS. 
Congress finds as follows: 
(1) Child sex trafficking can have devastating 
immediate and long-term consequences, including 
health impacts, psychological and physical trauma, 
and even death. 
(2) While any child can be targeted by a traf-
ficker, research, data, survivors’ lived experiences, 
and expertise have revealed that traffickers often 
target vulnerable youth who lack strong support net-
works, supervision, care, or basic necessities, have 
low self-esteem, have experienced violence in the 
past, are experiencing homelessness, are experi-
encing academic difficulties, or are marginalized by 
society, and lure them into forced labor and pros-
titution and other forms of sexual exploitation. Traf-
fickers are masters of manipulation and prey upon 
vulnerabilities using psychological pressure, intimi-
dation, and drugs to control and sexually exploit the 
child for their benefit. 
(3) The National Center for Missing and Ex-
ploited Children (NCMEC) has received reports of 
child sex trafficking in all 50 States, the District of
