Agenda for Action

1. We believe that education is vital in our struggle against the sexual exploitation of children and youth.

2. We believe that the voices and experiences of sexually exploited children and youth must be heard and be central to the development and implementation of action. We must be empowered to help ourselves.

3. We believe that we have a right to resources that are directed towards sexually exploited children and youth and our very diverse needs.

4. We believe that as children and youth, we are all vulnerable to sexual exploitation, whether male, female or transgendered.

5. We believe that our laws must protect us as sexually exploited children and youth and no longer punish us as criminals.

6. We believe that we are all responsible for our children and youth, yet the issue is not ours alone. Governments, communities and society as a whole must be held accountable for the sexual exploitation of children and youth.
