My Life My Choice provides survivor-led solutions to end the commercial sexual exploitation of children. They offer a range of programs and services in Massachusetts and nationally. My Life My Choice is a model for communities across the country set on changing not only lives, but the structural inequities that give rise to trafficking and sexual exploitation.  

ABOUT THE FORUM

Every day, youth are deceived, manipulated, coerced, and forced into the commercial sex industry. This multibillion dollar industry is inherently harmful and systematically targets the most vulnerable in our communities. And, it’s happening in our own backyard in Cape Ann and the North Shore.

Please join us in learning more about what is happening on Cape Ann and beyond and how we can recognize the signs and intervene in a supportive way.

PARTICIPANTS WILL: 

• Learn different forms of exploitation and what puts youth at greatest risk
• Gain knowledge about demand- what is driving the commercial sex industry
• Learn red flags/indicators that a young person may be groomed or recruited
• Learn best practices in responding to disclosures as well as mandated reporting
• Learn about community resources and what you can do

Doors open at 3:30 pm. This is a free event with refreshments served.

PARKING: Available parking at the library and surrounding streets or short walk from commuter rail.
