Commercial Sexual Exploitation
Commercial Sexual Exploitation
NCYL seeks to end the commercial sexual exploitation (CSE) of children and youth - also referred to as child sex trafficking - and support children, youth, families and caregivers affected by CSE experience safety and healing so that they may achieve their goals. We work to research, identify, develop and implement policies and practices that achieve collective systems change.
Center Youth
NCYL works with survivor leaders with personal experience with CSE as children or youth who provide leadership and consultation to our team, our partners, governmental agencies, community-based organizations and other stakeholders.
