Protecting Children. Empowering Families. Ending Exploitation.
​
Education is Prevention. We cannot arrest our way out of abuse, online exploitation and human trafficking. We must prevent it before it happens. These issues affect every neighborhood, age, ethnicity, and socioeconomic background, but children and those with greater vulnerabilities are especially at risk. By investing in education and early intervention, we can recognize warning signs earlier, protect the vulnerable and reduce the enormous human and financial costs of responding after harm has occurred. Together, we can stop abuse, online exploitation and human trafficking before it starts.
