Strength of one.
Power of all.
Ending exploitation.
My Life My Choice’s fervent conviction is that no person should be bought or sold. It is our daily fight — our strategic and urgent endeavor. Our holistic, battle-tested approach is grounded in survivor experiences of those who have lived the ugly realities of exploitation and come back fierce, wise, and strong. We serve as a model for communities across the country set on changing not only lives, but the structural inequities that give rise to trafficking and sexual exploitation. We know that every survivor’s story comes from a place of strength. And ultimately, it is that strength that powers a better future for us all.
Social justice. Not just social services.
The young people served by My Life My Choice, on average, are first exploited in the sex industry at 13 years old. They are disproportionately girls of color, LGBTQIA+ youth, and youth involved in the child welfare system. Commercial sexual exploitation is an egregious form of child abuse. This doesn’t just happen in someone else’s neighborhood. It happens in our neighborhood. In every neighborhood. Our work is to end this violence and injustice once and for all.
Twenty years strong.
As My Life My Choice enters its 24th year, our resolve is as fierce as ever. The strength and grit of each survivor inspires and drives our mission forward every day. Watch our video to see how the strength of one powers us all.

New Statewide Strategic Plan to Address Sex Trafficking
In January, the Governor’s Council to Address Sexual Assault, Domestic Violence, and Human Trafficking launched its 5-year Statewide Plan to Address Sex Trafficking. This plan was developed by the Human Trafficking Subcommittee, co-chaired by My Life My Choice Co-Founder and former Executive Director, Lisa Goldblatt Grace. This plan was created in collaboration with survivor-leaders, including our current Executive Director, Audrey Morrissey. The plan provides six key recommendation areas to advance a framework for healing, recovery, and accountability.
