Refuge for Women Chicago (McHenry County) provides long-term residential healing programs for survivors of sex trafficking and sexual exploitation.

Join us for a practical and meaningful conversation about prevention and awareness focusing on sextortion, digital safety, and grooming tactics. This is a free, online prevention and awareness webinar offered by Refuge for Women Chicago. This session equips individuals and communities to recognize risks, prevent exploitation, and respond with confidence.

Our experience with survivors has formed a determination to equip youth, parents, and our community how to be:

Secure in your online presence.
Aware of dangers like sextortion, tech-facilitated abuse (AI-generated), and predator grooming tactics.
Free to set boundaries and ask for help.
Empowered to protect yourself and intervene for others.

Our impact this year has changed our community!
