What We Do
pre·ven·tion — to be in readiness
The Demand Project believes in educating, equipping, and empowering the community on how to stay safe against online predators, child traffickers/buyers, and anyone that seeks to sexually exploit children for commercial and personal gain. We provide in-depth presentations on how predators and traffickers operate, how to keep children safe online and in the community, and how you can stay educated on any emerging technological trends and trafficking tricks.
pro·tec·tion — a legal or other formal measure intended to preserve civil liberties and rights
The Demand Project’s Protection department advocates for human trafficking survivors by providing court support, addressing legal consequences, and promoting legislation for their protection and justice.
re·cov·er·y — the action or process of regaining possession or control of something stolen or lost
The Demand Project helps to identify and recover victims by collaborating with law enforcement, service providers, and community members with hotline services, crisis intervention, victim advocacy, court support, transportation to a safe place, and emergency resources.
res·to·ra·tion — to put or bring back into existence
The Demand Project’s Journey to Freedom program is uniquely designed to serve survivors of human trafficking and CSEC in two ways. The first way is non-residentially through facilitating vetted and active referrals. The second option for the Journey to Freedom program is a two-year residential restoration program at the Mount Arukah campus for girls ages 11-17, under the authority of the Oklahoma Department of Health and Human Services.
The Journey to Freedom model is a victim-centered, community-driven, trauma-informed approach that focuses on restoring victims to survivors and equipping them to become thriving members of our communities.
