Church Women United

Sisters,

Webinar tomorrow evening Wednesday February 29 at 7 pm ET (6 pm CT) for CWU members.

The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) is the nation’s leading resource on the issues of missing and exploited children. To help provide communities with the tools to combat the issues of child sexual exploitation, NCMEC launched the Campaign Against Sexual Exploitation (CASE). 

Church Women United and NCMEC have partnered to bring CASE to your local communities.  YOU can join this national movement by implementing CASE in your local area and by becoming an advocate in the fight against the sexual exploitation of children and youth in your local community.

Research shows that one in five girls and one in ten boys will be sexually victimized before they reach adulthood, many as the result of trafficking. However, less than 35 percent of these crimes will be reported to law enforcement.
 

In this webinar, you will:

• Increase awareness about the issues surrounding the exploitation and trafficking of minors in the US
• Learn about the resources available for your churches and communities through CASE
• Discuss the challenges and its impact on our society.

If you are interested in becoming more involved with the issues of sexual exploitation and trafficking of children but haven't yet done so, this is a good first step.  And if this is an issue that you have been working on for some time in your unit, this new information from NCMEC will provide excellent resources to your toolkit.
 

Participants will receive the information to access the webinar just prior to the event.  Those who cannot attend and wish to receive information will receive a link to the recorded webinar after it takes place.
