We strategically host events that will not only raise awareness or influence policy makers but that will also capture the incredible voices of experts fighting sexual exploitation.
One way we’ve done that is through our national briefing in the U.S. Capitol, the Freedom from Sexploitation Agenda, which took place this past March. Experts from around the country flew into DC to educate policy makers, and now the research and stories they shared have been turned into a special edition of a peer-reviewed journal called Dignity! Our own Lisa Thompson co-edited this special edition along with the editor-in-chief of the journal, Donna M. Hughes, Ph.D.
Dignity: A Journal on Sexual Exploitation and Violence is an open access, peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary journal dedicated to publishing original articles on topics related to dignity, sexual exploitation, and violence.
