STRENGTHENING FAMILIES & RAISING AWARENESS
Awareness, Training, & Consulting
Co-founders and advocates of Action169 provide presentations on the various issues of commercial sexual exploitation, offering solutions, providing resources, and empowering attendees towards action.
Raising public awareness is a critical aspect of our prevention work. Awareness is a necessary step in eradicating sexual exploitation. Without awareness there is no effective and informed social action to combat the fastest growing social injustice of our time.
Daddy Daughter Dance
ONE OF THE GREATEST ADVOCATES
OF A DAUGHTER, IS HER FATHER.
A key to decreasing the shocking statistics of exploitation is stronger family bonds, including the relationship between a daughter and her father. Stronger families mean fewer vulnerabilities in youth. When a father's heart is turned towards his child, honor is a byproduct.
Men of character, strength, and honor are rising up.
Science tells us that the relationship between a father and child deeply impacts a childβs long-term development in many critical ways. Children with involved fathers are less likely to experience depression, teen pregnancy, risky behaviors such as substance use and more. Vulnerability factors in a child's life can be decreased, and when vulnerabilities become less, the risk of being exploited also becomes less.
The presence of a father in a child's life is powerful. A man choosing to honor a daughter can change the world, hers.
β He will turn the hearts of the parents to their children, and the hearts of the children to their parents.
