How do we create a more equitable and exploitation-free world? We do it by coming together, which is what Equal Not Exploited - the third annual World Without Exploitation (WorldWE) Youth Summit - was all about. This year, WorldWE took its annual gathering of allies, activists and artists, ages 16 - 28, into a digital space, reaching a national audience. During our education and activism-focused summit, participants heard from those impacted by exploitation … learned more about its root causes and consequences … and explored new and creative strategies for creating a world where no one is bought, sold or exploited.
The Youth Coalition will continue what was started at the WorldWE Youth Summit. We will continue to come together in conversation and activism. Please sign up for the WorldWE Youth Coalition if you’re interested in learning more, talking more, and engaging in activism around commercial sexual exploitation.
You can download the Materials Packet referenced by panelists during the Youth Summit. The packet includes resources from both Day 1 and Day 2. We encourage you to check it out.
