About Us

The fight to create a world where no one is bought, sold, or exploited is a fight for the future - and creating an exploitation-free future is what the World Without Exploitation Youth Coalition is all about. Our new, national, youth-led network — made up of young people, ages 15 to 28 — is using advocacy, education, and awareness raising initiatives to create change while supporting a culture of inclusion and diversity. Young survivor leaders, students, professionals, activists, artists, and allies are all encouraged to be a part of our efforts. We're doing this through:

Public Education

Hosting youth-targeted and led events, webinars, and monthly coalition meetings that educate on the issues of sexual exploitation and human trafficking.

Raising Awareness

Hosting youth-targeted and led events, webinars, and monthly coalition meetings that educate on the issues of sexual exploitation and how to combat human trafficking.

Legal Advocacy

Advocating for policy change through direct engagement with policymakers and decision-makers while supporting and creating campaigns that uplift the voices of human trafficking victims and survivors.

Introducing WorldWE Youth Coalition College Club Chapters

In response to the pervasiveness of “sex work” ideology on college campuses, the World Without Exploitation Youth Coalition has launched college chapters. Our chapters are educating their peers about the realities of commercial sexual exploitation and human trafficking and activating students in support of survivor-centered policies. They will also be partnering with local direct service organizations to support survivors of exploitation directly.

Survivor Model Myth-Busting: Addressing Misconceptions of Partially Decriminalizing Prostitution

Join the World Without Exploitation (WorldWE) Youth Coalition on Thursday, April 24th at 6:00 pm Eastern for Survivor Model Myth-Busting: Addressing Misconceptions of Partially Decriminalizing Prostitution. In this webinar, policy experts and survivor leaders will discuss the Survivor Model, or partial decriminalization, as a legislative framework for addressing prostitution. The discussion will center on common misconceptions surrounding sex trade policy amongst young people such as the degree of agency given to survivors, how sex buyers and third party exploiters are held accountable, and how exit services function. Join us to better understand what policy best addresses the commercial sex trade. Moderated by Youth Coalition member Bella Peracchi, our conversation will feature Tricia Grant, Executive Director, Just Love Worldwide; Gabrielle Prieto, Senior Peer Care Navigator, The EMPOWER Center at Sanctuary for Families; and Audra Doody, Co-Executive Director, Safe Exit Initiative.
