RUBIES MISSION AND PURPOSE
RUBIES is grounded in our mission to reach at-risk girls through prevention education in order to reduce the vulnerabilities that traffickers and sex- abusers seek to exploit, while restoring those who have been affected by unimaginable trauma.
Our program is designed to reach girls wherever they are at in their journeys, through empowerment and love; teaching them how to identify sex trafficking, giving them the tools to create healthy relationships in their lives, preparing them for their bright futures as world changers, and more!
April P. Bentley is a Milwaukee native who learned the twisted art of the streets at an early age. Her soul-stirring testimony started in the early millennium as God shed light on her dark past, her shady present, and her glorious future. April was delivered from a crippling lifestyle designed to destroy her destiny. A victim of child sex trafficking, the once drug and alcohol addicted call girl is now a free agent full of passion and purpose.
You can witness her freedom through her book,
Don’t Rush To Get Old
, written with the audience of her youth in mind, yet, profitable for everyone.
Don’t Rush To Get Old
is pieces of April’s memoir told through the story of the main character, Olivia Jackson. April began telling her story through the community of Milwaukee for her own healing as well as a way to raise awareness about the realities of sex trafficking.
In 2016, she founded RUBIES with the focus on prevention and educational programs for young girls and women. She currently serves as RUBIES
Executive Director. Additionally, April sits on the clinical committee at Exploit No More, is part of the speakers bureau and mentor with Women Inspiring Youth Network, and previously consulted at Redeem and Restore as well as the Human Trafficking Task Force of Greater Milwaukee.
