January is Human Slavery, Trafficking and Awareness Prevention Month. Julie’s Haven wants everyone to understand that Child Sexual Abuse and Exploitation is at the core of this human crisis and the Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children (CSEC) industry that is growing rapidly. CSEC is a criminal industry that includes: child sex trafficking/the prostitution of children; child sex tourism involving commercial sexual activity; commercial production of child pornography; online transmission of live video of a child engaged in sexual activity in exchange for anything of value. Within each of these evils is the actual sexual abuse of a child. We must understand and remember that an appetite for children is being cultivated around the world. Children are the victims and focus of physical and sexual abuse within the home, social environments, and throughout social media platforms. Julie's Haven seeks to bring awareness of these issues to parents, caring adults and girls. As we enter this new year we want our partners, parents and workshop participants to truly gain an understanding of how immersed and culpable society is in the grooming and targeting of minors through social media, games, and entertainment for sexual exploitation of every sort. Awareness is not a call to fear but it is true and real awareness. Julie’s Haven wants to raise the Awareness Protects call to another level about CSA/TRAFFICKING so that everyone is adjusting appropriately to the use of technology and current trends among minors and predators. Please don't assume that your child knows what NOT to do when it comes to strangers or even adults that are suppose to protect them . Have the conversation often , use teachable moments to bring awareness to your child, they are children and vulnerable and we all know how they forget!

" Julie's Haven informs, motivates and encourages parents, caring adults and girls to stay informed about sexual abuse and trafficking."
"When a young girl understands she is unique and that her talents and gifts are hers alone and that NO ONE is like her, she often has higher self-esteem, develops more self-confidence, or gains confidence. Your donation enables Julie's Haven to empower all girls with skills and resources to help her understand how Unique she is."

AWARENESS
EMPOWERS
In our mission to offer Awareness education, and strategies about Child Sexual Abuse/Trafficking. Julie’s Haven perceives the way society communicates and applies the world’s overall valuation of women as a de-valuation of girls and women primarily through sexualization. Since it is not healthy to guide girls into awareness through negativity and protest, it is better to guide every girl to enable her to discover and embrace her own unique value. We are committed to raise the true essential value of a girl that is apart from the common negative messages that emotionally and practically breaks down a healthy sense of worth and purpose within each child. Julie’s Haven and Julie’s Haven Unique Gurl uses Awareness Protects strategies that awakens a self-value that enables girls to better perceive Child Sexual Abuse/Trafficking targeting, and grooming in person and online. Join us as an Awareness Partner to empower girls, because AWARENESS can and does protect.
