Mariah Charles took a gamble and won. The Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office is dismissing their case against Charles who decided to go to trial and fight the misdemeanor charges that she faced after being violently arrested on her way to her high school in Red Hook last year. But, while Charles’s legal problems may be over, the emotional repercussions of being thrown head first into the back of a cop car for not having an ID linger.

The Women’s Foundation of Minnesota (WFM) recently announced the launch of a five-year campaign to end the sex trafficking of girls in the state through a combination of grants, research, public education, convening and evaluation.

The A FUTURE: Minnesota Girls Are Not for Sale campaign will award grants between $40,000 and $70,000 per year for:

efforts to change state laws to recognize prostituted girls as victims of crimes, not criminals.

Creating and maintaining shelters for survivors.

Intervention.

Training youth and youth outreach professionals about sex trafficking prevention.
