Mission and Vision

The Chicago Alliance Against Sexual Exploitation envisions a community free from all forms of sexual exploitation, including sexual assault and the commercial sex trade. We address the culture, institutions, and individuals that perpetrate, profit from, or support sexual exploitation. 

Our Work

Prevention Education - Creating and implementing curricula that empowers high-school-age students to help put an end to sexual harm.

Public Policy and Advocacy - Advocating for legislative and policy reforms that provide support for survivors of sexual harm, and hold systems accountable for addressing and ultimately preventing the root causes of sexual harm.

Community Engagement - Encouraging a better understanding of sexual harm among diverse communities and helping them take action against it.

Legal Services - Representing survivors of sexual violence and exploitation in civil litigation, as victims’ rights representatives in the criminal justice system, and as advocates for public policies that increase the efficacy of criminal and civil laws pertaining to sexual violence and exploitation.
