A more equitable, exploitation-free world? Let’s celebrate that!


Join us on January 11, 2022 for "Celebrating a More Equitable World," the second annual World Without Exploitation Virtual Gala.

Join us on January 11, 2022 for "Celebrating a More Equitable World," the second annual World Without Exploitation Virtual Gala.

Since its inception in 2016, World Without Exploitation has been committed to creating a space where a truly diverse community of activists, advocates, artists, and direct service providers could come together to create a world where no person is bought, sold, or exploited.

Today, five years into the life of our national coalition – and in partnership with our 200+ member groups – we’ve created more change in more ways than we ever thought possible. It’s time to celebrate that!

During “Celebrating a More Equitable World,” World Without Exploitation’s second annual Virtual Gala, we’ll be lifting up the movement leaders and change creators who are using their uniquely powerful voices to create change. The gala will be emceed by actress Reshma Shetty, a longstanding movement ally, and will feature a musical performance by singer-songwriter Chelsea Cutler, whose Late Show With Stephen Colbert performance is a must-see. In addition, we’ll showcase staged readings of a new works by playwright Katie Cappiello and the creative ensemble at The Voices and Faces Project.

Best of all, we’ll be honoring Audrey Morrissey, the Co-Director of My Life My Choice, a program of the Justice Resource Institute; Mary Mazzio, the visionary filmmaker behind the award-winning documentary “I Am Jane Doe,” which is a powerful indictment of the online sex trade; and Matthew Kodsi, a co-founder of the World Without Exploitation Youth Coalition and a next generation movement leader.

We have everything in place for an inspired night. Now we need you. Get your ticket today.
