quote:
The Wayne Foundation's vision is for a world without child slavery. Our mission is to provide young women who have fallen victim to commercial sexual exploitation and domestic trafficking with a means of leaving the sex industry for good. The Wayne Foundation is committed to fighting human trafficking, child prostitution, & child sex exploitation one victim at a time by providing individuals with a safe home environment that will empower them with the tools they will need to stop the cycle of abuse. It is our intent to end commercial sex exploitation within the United States through direct victim assistance, public outreach, and by directly working with those who shape the policies and statutes which impact victims and their abusers.
The Wayne Foundation was started by film maker Kevin Smith and Jamie Walton, who is a former child prostitute herself. Jamie Walton shared her story in a two part podcast from being a sexually confused preteen to getting her life straight. I was touched by her honesty and her sole purpose for sharing it, becuase she wants to help others suffering the same situation. So I shared this here, knowing that no bad can come from it but hopefully something good can.
