We are Awaken, the only organization in northern Nevada solely focused and trained to work with victims of commercial sexual exploitation. We believe that with the right opportunities and support, locally trafficked women and girls can overcome circumstances such as poverty, racism and gender-based violence perpetuating CSE.

Victims of CSE need and deserve specialized treatment, as well as non-judgmental healing and recovery services provided by a staff with relevant life experience and training. At Awaken, we have a comprehensive service model and center established for victims of CSE. Our many programs offer a holistic approach to help victims with both financial barriers, and emotional / cultural barriers that victims face as they re-enter society as free women and girls.
