We believe we’re stronger together. It’s why we’re proud to announce the the second year of Policy and Advocacy winners.
The Coalition Against Trafficking in Women (CATW) is a global nonprofit working to end human trafficking and sexual exploitation. They partner with survivor leaders, grassroots advocates, and allied organizations to advance laws that protect vulnerable populations and hold exploiters accountable. CATW also invests in survivor empowerment initiatives—supporting education, economic opportunities, and leadership development—while raising public awareness about the harms of sexual exploitation worldwide.
With this grant, CATW will expand its reach and strengthen survivor-led advocacy to prevent sexual exploitation and advance survivor-centered reforms worldwide.
The National Center on Sexual Exploitation (NCOSE) is a non-partisan, non-sectarian organization dedicated to creating a world where all can live and love free from sexual abuse and exploitation. They expose the links between all forms of sexual abuse and exploitation, a holistic approach that deals with the complete problem—i.e., mass-scale prevention—rather than just the symptoms.
This grant enables NCOSE to advance survivor-led legal strategies, produce credible research that informs culture and policy, convene national partners to share best practices, and expand public engagement to dismantle systems of exploitation.
Rights4Girls works to change the narrative and policies that punish girls impacted by gender-based violence and advocates for solutions that provide girls and young women with access to safety, justice, and support. They do so by centering the voices and experiences of marginalized girls to ensure that their lives are contemplated in mainstream conversations around justice reform and gendered violence and that their needs are prioritized. Their work includes public education campaigns, policy development and advocacy, research, training and technical assistance, and coalition building.
This grant enables Rights4Girls to expand survivor-centered research, advance the Survivor Model in states across the country, and support policies that protect survivors while holding exploiters accountable. Together, we are changing not just laws, but culture.
World Without Exploitation (WorldWE) is the country’s leading national coalition dedicated to ending human trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation (HT-CSE). WorldWE seeks to challenge and change the policies and systems that perpetuate the commodification of people. They focus on solutions that address the underlying causes that contribute to sexual exploitation. They have united hundreds of diverse partners from across the country in their collective efforts to drive a national agenda, leverage partnerships, and ultimately change laws, policies, and perspectives.
This grant enables WorldWE to equip survivor and youth leaders, drive timely public education campaigns, advance national adoption of survivor-centered approaches, and strengthen the coalition’s long-term impact.
