National Center on Sexual Exploitation (NCOSE) leads the movement to end sexual abuse and exploitation through research, litigation, corporate and legislative advocacy. NCOSE’s core objectives are to: 1) make pornography intolerable in society, comparable to the change in opinion and policy for smoking, 2) to reduce the demand for the commercial sex industry, the only way to stop sex trafficking, and 3) to create safer online spaces so that our youth can love, connect, learn and thrive.

Helping Survivors is passionate group of experts and advocates who believe individuals who have experienced sexual assault, abuse, or harassment deserve to know their rights and options. Their team combines professional expertise with deep empathy to ensure survivors feel supported, informed, and empowered to take the next steps in their healing and justice journeys.

Saving Innocence serves clients of all ages, genders, and forms of human trafficking victimization. Los Angeles County represents 25% of the total population of California, has the second largest population of immigrants in the U.S., and has a large number of foster children, runaway minors, and Transitional Age Youth (“TAY” are former system-involved youth between the ages of 18-24), all of whom are common targets for traffickers. We often see victims from these vulnerable populations, in addition to individuals who identify as LGBTQ+.

FosterAll helps families select the agency that is best suited for them and provides ongoing personal support throughout their foster/adopt experience. FosterAll recruits prospective resource/foster parents from faith communities and provides ongoing support to these heroic families so that they can provide safe and loving homes for the thousands of children who have been abused and neglected.

Homeboy Industries provides hope, training, and support to formerly gang-involved and previously incarcerated people, allowing them to redirect their lives and become contributing members of our community. Each year over 10,000 former gang members from across Los Angeles come through Homeboy Industries’ doors in an effort to make a positive change. They are welcomed into a community of mutual kinship, love, and a wide variety of services.

"I Choose To Be A Father Forever” is the organization's motto. A FATHER FOREVER members believe the word “I” promotes ownership, accountability and responsibility. A Father Forever (AFF) educates, motivates, and inspires fathers to be loving and responsible fathers to their children and be a supportive force for the elderly.

Organization that fights the victimization of women and girls through an anti-human trafficking campaign. "Our vision is to empower and equip individuals, families and communities by breaking the cycle of sexual exploitation through partnerships and community awareness. We provide outreach, education, and housing for victims of human trafficking. We also provide intervention classes and resources to women who have been arrested or sexually exploited."

Exodus Cry is committed to abolishing sex trafficking and breaking the cycle of commercial sexual exploitation while assisting and empowering its victims. Our international work involves uprooting the underlying causes in our culture that allow the industry of sexual exploitation to thrive and helping those who have been sexually exploited.
