About the Willmar Area Women's Fund:

SEXUAL EXPLOITATION IS IN MINNESOTA

In 2017 in Minnesota, 2,525 people were exploited.

​

There were also 401 trafficking investigations with 182 arrests and 96 charges.

​

1.3% of Minnesota's high school students traded sex for something of value in 2019. 

During spring 2020, Safe Avenues saw a 30% increase in calls.

​

Sexual exploitation is not only in Minnesota, it's right here in our rural communities.

The Willmar Area Women’s Fund helps fund and fuel the work of our partner organizations Safe Avenues, Lutheran Social Services and the Kandiyohi County Human Trafficking Task Force. These organizations work to stop sexual exploitation, assist victims and prevent the occurrence of exploitation locally. The goals of the Willmar Area Women’s Fund are: to raise funds, broaden awareness of and provide training around sexual exploitation and to expand this work to include trauma informed care training and awareness building in Kandiyohi County.
