OneChild is the premiere organization inspiring a movement of children and youth taking action against child sex slavery. We believe ALL children — the world’s largest voiceless minority — must be free from all forms of exploitation and able to contribute to matters that affect THEM. Through public education campaigns and advocacy initiatives, and prevention, rescue, rehabilitation, and reintegration efforts, today’s youth are providing hope.
Taking action requires knowing all the facts about CSEC (Commercial sexual exploitation of children), the key players, and the root causes like the backs of our hands.
This feeds our credibility as young WorldShakers who want to speak out for child rights and protection, and make demands for the kind of world we wish to see for ourselves.
There is no doubt that the child sex trade is underground and hidden, so that's why we want to shed light on the truth.

"I came into contact with OneChild in Ottawa and was so impressed that I asked them to present their work at an event that I was organising. Working on children's rights issues and in particular on sexual exploitation and abuse issues is hard - and requires dedication and the committment to follow through on actions. The OneChild team demonstrate this very clearly and engage audiences in a powerful and constructive way which is action focused." –Micheal Montgomery, former Principle Advisor

"I was fortunate to hear Cheryl's story last night at Speakers Gold showcase. Congratulations! I was amazed with her courage and horrified at the underworld she described. Thank you for taking action and becoming the change!" –Rony Rivas
