About

The EEC provides support and technical resources for sectors working to reduce commercial sexual exploitation.

The EEC provides education about the harms of the sex trade that are often misunderstood and also provides technical assistance to implement innovative tactics to reduce demand for paid sex across Washington State. These combined efforts ensure that our community's focus on commercial sexual exploitation stays on the buyers driving demand rather than those engaging in the sex trade themselves.

 

The Equality Model

Prioritizing the rights of survivors of commercial sexual exploitation while holding buyers and exploiters accountable.

The EEC’s multi-sector approach brings together survivors of prostitution, community service organizations, and local criminal justice authorities to carry out a comprehensive strategy to reduce demand and provide services to survivors of commercial sexual exploitation.
