Last night we had over 40 Washington County community members and criminal justice professionals come together to discuss Sex Trafficking in Washington County. In our community. Our experts - Imran Ali, Paul Kroshus, Aimee Schroeder, and Kathy Woxland - provided important and compelling information about what our community needs to know about commercial sex exploitation. WCCC is humbled by the community interest and for our speakers to spend their evening educating us on their very important work. Their passion for this difficult work was humbling to see. We are grateful and in awe of the work they do every day.
We are inspired.
WCCC unveiled a protocol for Accountability Circles, developed with the Washington County Attorney's Office, aimed at building a culture in our communities of respect for all humans, starting with those seeking out commercial sex in Washington County.
