Mission: Established in March 2017, our mission is two-fold:

1) PREVENTION- Worthy² believes that to eradicate commercial sexual exploitation, or sex trafficking, it is crucial to prevent it from happening in the first place. The juvenile victim who does not receive appropriate services becomes the adult victim we encounter ten years later. In 2024 Worthy² facilitated 38 training sessions across AL for schools, churches, community groups and law enforcement.

2) INTERVENTION- we advocate for adult and minor females who have been exploited through commercial sex, or sex trafficking.
