B1 - Beyond Awareness: Practical Application of the My Life My Choice Exploitation Prevention Solution Model

The goal of the My Life My Choice Prevention Solution Model is to prevent the violence and degradation of commercial sexual exploitation. Empowering girls with knowledge about how exploitation begins and equipping them with strategies for avoiding danger is a crucial first step. However, just providing education to youth is not enough. It is imperative to provide support and consultation to the service providers in their lives to shift how they serve this population that is highly vulnerable. Participants will have the opportunity to learn about this enhanced model and make practical considerations for applying it to programs within their jurisdiction.
