At Exploitation Education,
We prevent sexual exploitation, human trafficking, and online harms by addressing the root causes of exploitation through our expertise, programs, and advocacy.
Effective prevention means a holistic approach, grounded in root causes.
Every program we create is scripted and led by our founder, and grounded in evidence-based prevention.
