SHARED HOPE INTERNATIONAL (SHI) strives to inspire a nation of informed activists to combat societal norms, misconceptions, and ignorance through the following awareness initiatives, training conferences, research, advocacy and collaborations:AMBASSADORS OF HOPE -- Shared Hope International's Ambassadors of Hope are everyday advocates looking for a way to impact their community and the movement to end sex trafficking. The vision statement for this program is the more people who know, the smaller the world becomes for those who buy and sell our children. Ambassadors of Hope serve as volunteers for SHI in order to help expand the organization's impact around the nation. Approximately 1,075 individuals actively served as Ambassadors of Hope during the year ended June 30, 2019.CHOSEN -- This film series is designed to teach teens the warning signs and indicators of trafficking through the true stories of teenage girls who were tricked by traffickers. Brianna, Lacy and Maria discuss how modern American pimps and gangs are luring youth into the commercial sex industry and how teens can protect themselves and others from being chosen. The resource packages include additional educational tools to further discussion, learning and action!DEFENDERS -- The Defenders Take the Pledge Campaign, launched on Father's Day 2006, is a national mens awareness and action campaign. The campaign aims to mobilize an army of 100,000 Defenders to protect and defend exploited women and children. Defenders are men of all ages who take a pledge and take action to fight against the commercial sex industry. Thousands of men across the nation have already banded together to help prevent and stop prostitution, pornography, and exploitation in all its Forms. 2018 JuST (JUVINILE SEX TRAFFICKING) CONFERENCE - The conference was held in October 2018 in San Diego and included around 1,080 professionals, advocates and leaders in the anti-trafficking field. The conference provided attendees with three days of education, collaboration and networking. Every year at the JuST conference, SHI addresses the collective belief that juvenile sex trafficking is one of the greatest injustices in the United States and at this conference, the plenary presenters helped answer the question, what does justice look like for the issue of juvenile sex trafficking? The keynote presenter, Leslie Briner, inspired attendees with her discussion on how justice must be rooted in compassion. Dr. Tanisha Knighton and Nathan Earl addressed how we cannot achieve universal justice without seeing those who are marginalized by the systems in place. And, our closing panel discussed the importance of survivors access to justice through financial recovery. This theme resonated with attendees as they attended 75 workshops hosted by presenters from all over the country.STATE LAWS -- The Protected Innocence Challenge is a comprehensive study of existing state laws designed to inspire and equip advocates. Under the Challenge, every state receives a Report Card that grades the state on 41 key legislative components that must be addressed in a states laws in order to effectively respond to the crime of domestic minor sex trafficking. In addition, each state receives a complete analysis of this 41-component review and practical recommendations for improvement. In November 2018, SHI released the Protected Innocence Challenge report cards for year eight. Thirty-five states received a grade of B or better, with only five at a D or below. In the 2018 report card release, four states raised their grade.JUST RESPONSE -- JuST Response is a project of the National Restoration Initiative and the Protected Innocence Challenge that brings together Shared Hopes research on services for domestic minor sex trafficking victims with its analysis of state statutory protective responses. By merging research on implementation and policy analysis, JuST Response seeks to broaden the research in this emerging area to inform legislative efforts and the implementation of existing responses.ENDING ONLINE FACILITATION -- Child sex trafficking in the US is increasingly moving onto the Internet. Online classifieds like Backpage.com are now a primary venue for traffickers to sell sex with minors and for buyers to purchase sex with these children. Online classifieds that advertise commercial sex acts provide anonymity and accessibility to individuals looking for commercial sex and the victims are very often trafficked youth. Shared Hope International has joined policy, faith and NGO leaders in national advocacy efforts to hold online classifieds liable for their role in facilitating sex trafficking through advertising.STOP THE INJUSTICE CAMPAIGN -- Contrary to common belief, child sex trafficking is not an issue reserved for faraway places and third world countries. Thousands of children are bought and sold for sex in the U.S. every day. SHI and others are concerned with ending trafficking. The issue is complex, but Shared Hopes research has shown that change begins when we as citizens advocate for laws that effectively address child sex trafficking. Engaged citizens are essential as Shared Hope supports legislators in drafting and passing laws that both protect victims of juvenile sex trafficking and hold offenders accountable.POLICY RESEARCH AND RESOURCES -- Shared Hope International proactively supports the legislative, law enforcement, and social services communities with timely and effective reports, studies, surveys and exemplary legislation aimed at eradicating human trafficking.COMBATING DEMAND -- The Demanding Justice Project is a research and advocacy initiative designed to promote demand deterrence through increased attention and advocacy on demand enforcement. The research report documents the outcomes of federal and state arrests, charges and prosecutions of buyers of sex acts with children. The findings of this research will inform advocacy efforts to strengthen anti-demand legislation and enforcement. 230261 INTERNATIONAL PARTNERSShared Hope International (SHI) has worked around the world since 1998 to rescue and restore victims of sexual slavery. Recognizing the intense trauma experienced by victims through the commercial sex industry, SHI has formed lasting partnerships with local organizations in three countries to fund five programs that offer holistic, long-term care to women and children. Each of these programs offers a survivor-informed model of care that focuses on counseling, empowerment, and healing. Villages of Hope, SHI 's restoration programs, are developed and operated by local partners, addressing both immediate and long-term needs of each victim of trauma, exploitation, or trafficking. Restoration services include a holistic approach with residential facilities, medical and mental health care, education, job training, and economic development programs. Villages of hope are safe communities that offer refuge and restoration to rescued victims of sexual slavery and their children. During fy2018, SHI funded partners in Nepal, India, and Jamaica.SHI partners with an organization in India to run both a stationary and mobile HIV/Aids clinic in the heart of Mumbai's red-light district. Both clinics provide contact to 3,600 women and children in the infamous district every month, offering compassion, counseling, and life-saving medications to those who need help or who wish to flee the sex industry. The stationary clinic provides a haven for those women infected with HIV to receive proper testing, medicine, and nutrition. It is the only area clinic offering free assistance for treatment. The mobile clinic brings supplies and food into remote parts of the city, reaching those who may not be bold enough to visit the stationary clinic.The Women's Investment Network (WIN) program focuses on developing small businesses around the world that provide training and employment for the women in SHI 's Villages of Hope. Studies show that providing victims with the skills and means of creating their own economic sustainability helps remove the risk of re-victimization found in areas of extreme poverty and exploitation. The residents receive leadership development and financial independence. This year, SHI 's successful win program was active in India, Jamaica and Nepal. Training programs include sewing, jewelry, leather-making, bag-weaving, painting, henna designing, and embroidery. 90397 DOMESTIC WIN PROGRAMThe domestic WIN program is designed to help women develop skills and gain practical job experience. Typically, women enrolled in the program have had difficult life experiences such as domestic abuse, childhood abuse from the commercial sex industry, drug addiction, and/or time in a correctional facility. These experiences have left these women with low self-esteem and a lack of employable skills. Many of the women who enter the program have faced homelessness and lost custody of their children due to their life circumstances. The nine-month WIN training program provides an opportunity for women to learn job skills so they can enter/re-enter the work force and support themselves and their families. In addition to job skills, these women learn how to work in a professional business environment and develop personal life skills so they can build confidence and self-esteem. During 2018, two women participated in SHIs domestic WIN program. 104080 2567355 true true false true false false false false false true true false false false false true false true false false true true false true false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false true true false false false false 18 0 true 25 true false false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false false false X 7 5 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false AK AL AR CA CT FL GA IL KS KY MA MD MI MN MS NC NH NJ NY OH OK OR PA RI SC TN UT VA WI WV X X Bonnie Ager 3606938100 2906 E EVERGREEN BLVD VANCOUVER WA 98661 LINDA A SMITH President 40.00 0.00 X X 124861 0 3520 LEONARD BUTCH YARNELL Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 CHRISTINE HARMON BOARD CHAIR 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 DAN O'BRYANT Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MARJIE AUSTEN Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 NICK LEMBO SEC/TREASURER 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 DONNA LANCASTER Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 124861 3520 1 false false false 0 4850449 4850449 TRAINING/REGISTRATION FEE 611710 381159 381159 381159 7226 7226 0 0 0 3513 3629 16099 -116 -16099 -16215 -16215 0 0 0 0 5222619 381159 -8989 78036 78036 0 182968 182968 0 129173 113801 5038 10334 0 1049373 844343 178432 26598 14836 11838 2689 309 50327 40906 7843 1578 103047 83756 16059 3232 0 0 27259 27259 0 35165 35165 0 177985 157814 13618 6553 50361 47300 3061 146299 97160 2868 46271 0 0 144427 113662 21682 9083 121232 105948 7017 8267 0 440694 431959 4980 3755 0 0 46131 36054 7275 2802 33624 26111 5423 2090 Printing and Publications 191499 122516 93 68890 LICENSES, FEES, SUBSCRIPTIONS 66339 49558 14187 2594 BANK CHARGES AND FEES 36948 36948 OTHER COSTS 30429 21135 8069 1225 2759 2490 63 206 3158911 2567355 362604 228952 894150 470268 498678 3339792 119270 148107 453 13188 0 0 0 105893 93723 57268 47283 716401 341174 298728 375227 0 7119 7173 0 0 504605 386 2486164 4495147 159189 150263 208675 162822 367864 313085 X 1421671 2421156 696629 1760906 2118300 4182062 2486164 4495147 2063708 54 X false true X true false X 2559325 3021267 3000729 3315136 4850449 16746906 0 0 2559325 3021267 3000729 3315136 4850449 16746906 0 16746906 1205 1042 1280 -1309 7110 9328 0 248251 422226 292539 402975 381159 1747150 18503384 247727 0.90510 0.90250 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED false false 5120 6942 12062 3146849 3158911 307946 76987 false 308805 311572 326541 307946 1254864 1882296 23350 17715 17715 12062 70842 77201 77893 81635 76987 313716 470574 962 3700 3700 5120 13482 Part II-B, Line 1i - Other Activities Description SHARE HOPE INTERNATIONAL IS WORKING IN VARIOUS STATES TO SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT OF TARGETED LAWS.
