Ivanka Trump Visits Atlanta Tuesday To Tackle Sex-Trafficking

ATLANTA, GA — Ivanka Trump, daughter of President Donald Trump, was in Atlanta Tuesday to discuss initiatives that aim to combat human sex trafficking, reported WXIA TV. Trump is a White House advisor and met with public officials, including Gov. Brian Kemp and Sen. Kelly Loeffler, at a roundtable discussion.

Georgia First Lady Marty Kemp, whose GRACE Commission has been tasked with tackling the issue in the state, was also there.

The visit included Trump visiting sex trafficking survivors at a local safe haven shelter.

Human sex trafficking has long been an issue in Atlanta. In December Shared Hope International awarded Georgia an "A" on the strength of its laws to combat sex trafficking — an improvement from the "B" received in 2018 and the "C" from the first report card in 2011.

This ranking is a direct result of the hard work of Marty Kemp, the GRACE Commission, Attorney General Chris Carr, the General Assembly, law enforcement, and non-profit organizations, Gov. Brian Kemp previously said.

"We have been working hard over the past year to raise awareness, strengthen our laws, heal victims, and take these criminals off our streets, and we look forward to continuing the fight to end this evil industry," he said.

Since 2011, Shared Hope International has graded states based on the strength of their laws related to the commercial sexual exploitation of children.
