The Voice for the Sexually Exploited

Who We Are

VERONICA'S Voice is a grassroots organization founded in 2000 by Kristy Childs, a survivor of commercial sexual exploitation, trauma and drug addiction. The initial funding was provided through the Sisters of Charity of Leavenworth Health Systems.

Mission Statement

To connect with American victims of commercial sexual exploitation (prostitution) of all ages, to encourage, educate and empower them to make lifestyle changes, which lead to recovery of their mind, body and spirit.

Dedicated to human rights and social change for American victims of commercial sex exploitation without voices.

Our Programs

VERONICA'S Voice educates and provides resources to help clients with options to assist them in leaving a life of prostitution, sexual exploitation, drug addiction and violence, and to transition into new lives free from abuse. Survivors direct the programs and work with the clients at the VERONICA'S Voice SAFE Center.

Immediate Needs

Veronica’s Voice receives no government funding for American victims of sexual exploitation. Please consider adding a few items to your own shopping list to help take care of your neighbors in need in the Kansas City area.
