Women Against Child Trafficking (WACT)

Unverified non-profit organisation

Women Against Child Trafficking is a 501 (c)3 non-profit organization which is dedicated to the safety and well-being of children who have been victims of human trafficking.

WACT aims to fight human trafficking by the following means:

- Protect children from predators who profit from selling children into sexual slavery
- Educate parents, teachers, children, religious leaders and others in positions of authority
- Create awareness to the public, law enforcement and political leaders
- Advocate changes in laws, and publicize sex offenders and be an advocate for victims’ rights
- Support organizations and Youth Shelters which are helping victims

WACT collects weekly donations to help youth shelters that house young victims. It also helps raise funds for basic necessities to run the shelter and to feed rescued victims. To achieve that, WACT also provides a Dignity Bag to a rescued victim; it is comprised of a backpack containing a t-shirt, sweats, toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo, body wash, chap stick, journal, pen, bottled water, granola bar, calling card and grocery gift card.

Besides that, WACT spreads awareness by speaking in front of the community at female networking events, women’s clubs, Chambers of Commerce, Rotary Clubs and Lion’s Clubs. WACT also collaborates with the Sheriff’s Department, FBI and is a member of RCAHT (Riverside County Against Human Trafficking Task Force).
