We educate and provide technical assistance to those who respond to commercial sexual exploitation in Pennsylvania, promoting victim-centered, multidisciplinary collaboration.
We equip policy-makers and the broader community with the knowledge they need to improve the Pennsylvania legal system’s response to commercial sexual exploitation, in order to support survivors and hold perpetrators accountable.
In keeping with Villanova University School of Law’s Catholic and Augustinian mission, we aim to create a community in which every human being is treated with dignity, compassion and respect.
