Welcome to The Demand Collaborative!
Hello Friends,
At Epik Project, we have been addressing the demand that fuels exploitation for over a decade. We have been honored to do so alongside hundreds of lived experience experts, policymakers, authors, agencies, and community members including some of the largest anti-trafficking organizations and the bravest survivor leaders.
The Demand Collaborative is a culmination of our combined work and professional expertise and is structured as a community-oriented endeavor resulting in real-time solutions to combat exploitation at its source; the demand.
Collectively, we understand that in order to fix the problems facing our vulnerable populations we must come together with a cohesive strategy. The organizations you see below have done just that, come together on solid ground to make a real impact.
Thank you for being part of the change.
Regards,
Tom Perez
Founder + CEO, Epik Project
