Every year, millions of men, women, and children are trafficked in countries around the world, including in the United States. It is estimated that human trafficking generates many billions of dollars of profit per year, second only to drug trafficking. Drugs can only be sold once, but a person can be sold over and over.
Sex trafficking is defined as using force, fraud, or coercion to obtain some type of commercial sex act. The greater Milwaukee area has one of the highest rates of sex trafficking activity in the country. Traffickers look for people who are vulnerable for a variety of reasons. Victims can be male or female, rural or urban, any race, any social class, any age. It is an invisible crime that is happening everywhere, including all 72 counties in Wisconsin.
But there is hope.
Motivated by the love of Jesus, Exploit No More responds to the impact of sex trafficking through community education, housing and supportive services. Exploit No More is dedicated to see all survivors of sex trafficking treated with dignity and have access to safe housing, supportive services and the ability to move forward to work toward their goals. We invite you to explore our website to learn more.
Because People Are Not Property.
*When we use the term "victim" to describe people who have experienced trafficking, the purpose is to reflect terminology used in the United States Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000. We affirm those who identify as "survivors".
We are very pleased to hold Candid's Platinum Seal of Transparency. Candid (formerly GuideStar) is the
world’s largest database of nonprofit organizations. The Platinum Seal of Transparency is the highest
possible rating and indicates that Exploit No More exceeds nonprofit industry standards.
