WestCoast Children's Clinic is seeking software development proposals for a web application and underlying database to support the CSE-IT, a screening tool we developed to improve identification of children and youth who are trafficked for sex.
Funded through a three-year grant from the NoVo Foundation, this project will increase the visibility of youth experiencing or at risk of exploitation and expose systemic factors that perpetuate child sex trafficking, thereby closing on-ramps and creating exit ramps for survivors. A new CSE-IT application will allow us to:
Expand universal screening to double the number of young people screened each year. Though numbers alone do not illustrate youths' experiences, an increase in screenings signals a shift in how systems treat exploited youth and a reduction in suffering.
Increase the visibility of girls of color and transgender/gender non-conforming youth.
Increase our knowledge about risk and protective factors so we can more effectively prevent and respond to trafficking.
