Fighting to eradicate the sexual exploitation of children

We will direct our efforts, resources and energy toward the eradication of sexual exploitation, with an emphasis on the sexual exploitation of children. Whether they're victims of trafficking, forced prostitution, online enticement or child pornography
our mission is to end all sex crimes by targeting the DEMAND side of sexual exploitation. 
(Demand = Predator)

 

The Demand Project

URGENT!

Today - 01/08/15 (2AM) - The Demand Project transported a young teen (14 y/o) sex trafficking victim to a faith based shelter committed to restoring her life. (for obvious reasons we cannot disclose her location).

Her story is difficult and graphic, but because of the caring persistence from our Executive Director and other amazing partners she is now safe and has begun a "new life"!
  • Mentoring
  • Biblical Counseling
  • Vocational Learning
  • Education (fully accredited)

The next 2 weeks will be the hardest so we're asking for you to pray for her and also consider donating to her care. This program is 12-15 months!

Many people reading this have expressed a need to help the victims of sex trafficking, well, here's your chance! The faith based shelter has agreed to allow us to pay what we can towards her housing, clothing and food. If you give toward this victim/survivor 100% of the funds will go to help her. We will share more updates when we can.

The Demand Project is a 501(c)(3) organization. Your donations are tax-deductible.

"Lisa"
The Long Night Documentary

Monday, January 12th - 6:30 - 8:30pm

The Demand Project Headquarters
2166 E. 61st Avenue - Tulsa

The Long Night is a feature documentary film produced in partnership with MediaStorm. It gives voice and meaning to the crisis of minors who are forced and coerced into the American sex trade. The film weaves together the stories of seven people whose lives have been forever changed by this issue.

The Long Night is not themed to advocate a solution. Instead, it submerges the viewer in the experience of what it has been like for Natalie and Lisa to survive in the life; for Tom and Nacole to watch their daughter slip out of their hands; for Andy and his fellow police officers, Brian and Joel, to try and create a more just system.

The Long Night is testimony to the lives of those who have lived this crisis.

 

VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED! - Strong language and disturbing realities of drug use and sexual exploitation. 17+ please. RSVP at 918-346-2612 or jason.weis@thedemandproject.org - seating is limited.
