Amplifying our voice in the nation’s capital to end sex trafficking.
Washington, DC
The Institute for Justice & Advocacy is a center for training, research and education that gathers and concentrates the power of Shared Hope’s collective resources under one roof.
The word JUSTICE in the Institute’s name is critical. We’re fighting for justice on behalf of the victims of child sex trafficking.
Advocates and stakeholders from across the spectrum of sex trafficking prevention will convene at the Institute to work on justice and restoration initiatives as well as to participate in training programs. They include law enforcement, social workers, lawyers, first responders, doctors, legislators and judges.
The Institute will enable Shared Hope to dig deeper. Our expanded, more aggressive stance means taking on emerging challenges as they come.
