What We Do:
The Exploitation Education Institute aims to eradicate all forms of sexual exploitation against minors through innovative prevention education, thought provoking adult and community trainings, and consulting services to a diverse variety of sectors.
Our Approach:
We were proudly the first in Canada to provide prevention programs aimed at the root causes of sexual exploitation and human trafficking; such as consent, healthy boundaries, and meeting needs by means of healthy alternatives.
Our Impact:
- Our programs have educated thousands of students, parents, and teachers, and are trusted by Safe Schools Coordinators! We have been contracted by School Districts to develop their Online Human Trafficking Training, to educate their students on cybersafety and healthy relationships, and to provide Pro D training for their school district staff.
- Non profit organizations and law enforcement groups across Canada have trusted us to provide training to their staff.
- Research Centres, RCMP, and Indigenous non profits have relied on us for consulting services.
While we are a human trafficking prevention organization in British Columbia, we service across Canada and the U.S.!

What exactly is sexual exploitation?
An Epidemic.
Sexual exploitation is falls under a form of human trafficking, an umbrella term, and other forms of child predation legislation.
It involves a minor (someone under the age of 18) engaging in sexual activity in return for something- such as money, gifts, love, popularity, protection, or self-esteem. Sexual activity can be in person or digital, such as in the case of photos or videos. The exchange is often times in return for getting certain needs met, that a minor might be lacking.
Many children and youth are groomed into sexual exploitation by child predators, human traffickers, family members, or peers. However, with the digital age, self directed exploitation can also occur. Regardless of whether the minor believes they have consented, they legally can not consent and it is never their fault.
Some forms of sexual exploitation include:
- Online predators luring and grooming minors into sexual activity online or in person
- Peer pressure and consent in relationships or amongst peers
- Sextortion (a common form of digital blackmail)
- Sex trafficking (minors engaging in sexual activity in exchange for money)
- Sugar daddy/sugar baby relationships or escorting type behaviour
- Selling of sexual acts by girlfriends of gang members
