We’re coming together to end online sexual exploitation. Join us on January 11th for a special World Without Exploitation event.

Three years ago, The Voices and Faces Project embarked on a unique journey, engaging in a series of conversations with our allies at Coalition Against Trafficking in Women, Sanctuary for Families, and National Organization for Women/Women's Justice NOW. Those conversations set the stage for the 2016 launch of World Without Exploitation, the national movement to end human trafficking and sexual exploitation. Our goal? To come together to create a world where no person is bought, sold, or exploited. Online or offline.

In service to that goal, please join us at Disrupting Online Exploitation: Why Survivors are Standing Up for the Stop Enabling Sex Traffickers Act. This DC event will feature sexual exploitation survivor testimony, subject matter experts, and the debut of a new public service video directed by Mary Mazzio ("I am Jane Doe") and featuring Seth Meyers and Amy Schumer.

Autumn Burris, Vednita Carter, Noel Gomez, and Nikki Bell — outspoken #PassSESTA advocates and alums of The Voices and Faces Project's "Stories We Tell" writing program — will be featured voices at the briefing. See you there!

Longtime Voices and Faces Project advisor Mónica Ramírez, the Co-Founder and president of Alianza Nacional de Campesinas and a founding co-chair at World Without Exploitation, has always been a star. No one has fought harder for the rights of immigrant and farmworker women who have been sexually harassed or assaulted. This month, Mónica took a different sort of star turn. At the 2018 Golden Globe Awards, she walked the red carpet alongside seven other brave, brilliant gender justice activists who are challenging Hollywood women to engage in the fight for all women. Thanks, Mónica, for reminding us that economic justice, gender justice, and workers' rights are connected. You inspire us! Find out more.
