The Project S.T.E.P. Sex Trafficking Exploitation Prevention... MISSION STATEMENT The Project S.T.E.P. seeks to provide awareness, education and prevention of Sex Trafficking and Exploitation. We recognize that the same environment that creates the victim can also create the offender. We teach the offender the impact that Sex Trafficking has on victims, victim’s family, offender’s family, and the impact that it has on the community. The Problem There is an epidemic that plagues our nation with Sex Trafficking and Exploitation. The ages of the victims and the offenders continue to be younger and the consequences more severe. A lack of education, resources and awareness prevents society from identifying the victims and the offenders. The Solution Bring awareness and education about Sex Trafficking and Exploitation through The Project S.T.E.P. curriculum, educating the offenders about the impact of their crime. Statement of Need The Project S.T.E.P. will benefit children and adults by bringing awareness and education to those that have victimized others through Sex Trafficking and Exploitation. The Project S.T.E.P. will also benefit the offenders and the educators by allowing them to interact with law enforcement. The Project S.T.E.P. curriculum will feature guest speakers such as, Survivors of Trafficking, Ex-Traffickers, Healthcare Professionals, Career Counselors, Law Enforcement, Family Members of Victims, Financial Advisors, Employment Recruiters, and Life Coaches. It is the intent of The Project S.T.E.P. to instill empathy within offenders, through a group setting that hosts guest speakers sharing their personal experiences, educating offenders on the impact their crime has upon others as well as themselves. The facilitators of The Project S.T.E.P. will advocate awareness for those offenders who have been victimized themselves, by creating a better understanding of the lifelong trauma caused by Sex Trafficking and Exploitation.
