The Institute for Justice & Advocacy leads ground-breaking research, provides technical assistance to elected officials and policy advocates, and equips change-agents with promising practices from across the country to prevent child sex trafficking and protect survivors. The Institute for Justice & Advocacy convenes the JuST Response Council, a body comprised of over 35 experts from an array of disciplines who contribute to the Institute’s innovative research by providing comprehensive field representation and subject matter expertise. As the nation’s only comprehensive survey of state laws addressing juvenile sex trafficking, the Report Cards on Child & Youth Sex Trafficking project includes timely and effective reports, surveys, and recommendations. Armed with these tools, the Institute for Justice & Advocacy supports state efforts to counter demand and increase survivor protections and access to specialized, trauma-informed services. The Institute for Justice & Advocacy continues to lead national conversations to influence legislative change at the federal level to ensure that survivors are met with protective responses, access to justice, and empowering opportunities.
