Why Minnesota? 

The FBI has reported Minnesota in the top 10 worse states in regards to human trafficking. Additionally, the founder of MATTOO’s home state is Minnesota.

Why Spain?

Per capita, Spain has the most prostituted individuals than any country in Europe. It is also believed that 80 – 90% of those prostituted are foreign women (Eastern European, Nigerian and Central/South American) and of those being prostituted the majority are trafficked.  Also, within Europe, Spain has the highest numbers of men who have paid for sex, at 39%.

Why Philippines?

SE Asia is known to be one of – if  not – the worse region in the world for sex-trafficking. According to the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) an estimated 60,000 to 100,000 children in the Philippines are involved in prostitution rings.
