Shared Hope International
is a Christian non-profit organization dedicated to combatting sex trafficking
in the U.S. and around the globe through a three-pronged approach: preventing
the conditions that foster sex trafficking, restoring victims of sex slavery,
and bringing justice to vulnerable women and children.
The Center for Global Justice, Human Rights, and the Rule of
Law Student Staff works with Shared Hope International by completing research
projects, drafting reports, and assisting with the Protected Innocence
Challenge (PIC), a comprehensive study of existing state laws relating to sex
trafficking that is designed to inspire and equip advocates. Assisting
Shared Hope furthers the Center’s goal of advancing legal strategies and
policies to end sexual exploitation and trafficking across the globe.
In early 2015, Ernie Walton, Administrative Director of the
Center, advocated with Shared Hope and the Virginia Kids Are Not For Sale
Collation at the Virginia Senate to pass Virginia’s first ever sex trafficking
law; while meeting with various members of the Virginia General Assembly, the
Coalition and Shared Hope distributed some of the exact materials that the
student staff had updated the previous year.
