Why We Exist
The National Center on Sexual Exploitation (NCOSE) exists to build a world where people can live and love without sexual abuse and exploitation.
What We Do
Defend Human Dignity
We believe every human being deserves the opportunity to live life to its fullest potential
Oppose Sexual Exploitation
We mobilize legal, corporate, and legislative action to build a world free from sexual abuse and exploitation
Expose the Connections
We strike deep at the roots of the systems which support and sustain sexual abuse and exploitation
How We Work
Because forms of sexual harms overlap, reinforce, and fuel one another, our strategy is designed to combat sexual abuse and exploitation with a multi-faceted and interdisciplinary approach
How You Can Help
You can support dignity today, through an online gift, taking action, or joining our email list.
Our Victories
Standing up against the darkness of sexual abuse and exploitation can feel daunting, but victory is possible in these spaces thanks to passionate allies and advocates like you. These victories represent the building blocks of a world where all people are able to live and love without sexual abuse and exploitation.
The Issues
Sexual abuse and exploitation of all kinds are pernicious, interconnected problems that harm people from all walks of life—especially the vulnerable and marginalized in our societies. These connections must be exposed and addressed, and that work begins with these issues.
