MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR AND CO-CHAIRThe Nevada Coalition to Prevent the Commercial Exploitation of Children (CSEC Coalition) wasestablished on May 31, 2016 by Executive Order 2016-14. The CSEC Coalition’s mandate wasto develop a comprehensive strategic plan that fostered collaboration and coordination amongagencies to improve the capacity to identify CSEC and provide safety and services for them andtheir families and caregivers, as appropriate, as they work to end their exploitation; and to holdtheir exploiters accountable.The Strategic Plan to Address the Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children in Nevada(CSEC Strategic Plan) is the culmination of more than two years of effort by a broad crosssection of individuals representing child welfare, juvenile justice, the courts, service providers,advocates and other entities that work to end the commercial sexual exploitation of children.During its first year, the CSEC Coalition developed an understanding of the experiences ofvictims and the need in Nevada, created structures through which to develop a plan to addressthese needs, and guided working subcommittees as they researched and developedrecommendations for a coordinated response to child sex trafficking in Nevada.During its second year, the CSEC Coalition identified goals and objectives for the NevadaCSEC Strategic Plan and merged the efforts of the subcommittees into the CSEC ModelCoordinated Response Protocol and Toolkit (CSEC Protocol) and the CSEC PreventionResource Guide (CSEC Prevention Guide). The CSEC Protocol provides guidance forimplementing a coordinated response to identify and serve CSEC based on promising practices.The CSEC Prevention Guide provides a public health approach to combating child sextrafficking, with strategies and resources to reduce demand and increase CSEC awareness inthe general community and with at-risk populations. The inclusion of both the CSEC Protocoland CSEC Prevention Guide in the CSEC Strategic Plan speaks to the necessity ofimplementing prevention and intervention concurrently to ensure improved outcomes forNevada’s children.We are immensely indebted to members of the CSEC Coalition and its subcommittees,knowledgeable community members, and youth and survivor advisors for contributing their timeand expertise to this critical endeavor.With hope and commitment to a better future for children in Nevada,Nancy M.

INTRODUCTIONFederal Response to Human TraffickingIn recent years, there has been an increased focus on preventing human trafficking i – usingpersons against their will to engage in sex acts or provide labor, and a recognition that humantrafficking can be viewed as a modern form of slavery.1 The federal response to humantrafficking stems from the Trafficking Victims and Protection Act (TVPA)ii which was passed byCongress in October 2000. 2, 3 It defined a human trafficking victim as a person induced toperform labor or a commercial sex act through force, fraud or coercion. However, any personunder age 18 who performs a commercial sex act is considered a victim of human trafficking,regardless of whether force, fraud or coercion is present.4The commercial sexual exploitation of children (CSEC), iii alsoreferred to as child sex trafficking, is defined by federal law as aform of child sexual abuse, and involves the recruitment,harboring, transporting, provision or obtaining of a person under18 years of age for a commercial sex act (i.e., when something ofvalue is given to or received by any person). Force, fraud orcoercion are not necessary. CSEC includes child prostitution,child pornography, trafficking of children for sexual purposes,child sex tourism and forced marriage.5The TVPA directed federal efforts to combat human trafficking through the prosecution oftraffickers, the protection of victims and the prevention of the crime, using the TVPA’s expandedcriminal statutes and enhanced victim protections, and anti-human trafficking programs.Congress maintained and continued support of these efforts by reauthorizing the TVPA in 2003,2005, 2008 and 2013.The framework to the federal approach is a “4 Ps” model: Prevention, protection, prosecutionand partnership. A description of the 4 Ps follows:6, 7, 8iThe term, human trafficking, refers to both labor and sex trafficking. This CSEC Strategic Plan onlyaddresses one type of human trafficking, child sex trafficking, which is also referred to as the sexualexploitation of children.iiSee Appendix A for a list of acronyms.iiiA variety of terms are used to address children who are sexually exploited, including victim, survivor,domestic minor who is sex trafficked (DMST) and CSEC. Victim is commonly used in referring to a childwho has been abused and survivor is commonly used to refer to a child who was previously trafficked.However, sex trafficking survivors point out that current victims of exploitation are also survivors; theirstrength and determination to survive enable them to live another day despite violence and exploitation.DMST refers to those who are U.S. citizens or legal permanent residents. In this CSEC Strategic Plan,the acronym, CSEC, will be used as it addresses all minors in Nevada, whether domestic or foreign-born.Depending on the context, CSEC refers to commercially sexually exploited child(ren) or the commercialsexual exploitation of children.10
