THE DEMAND PROJECT INC

The Demand Project (TDP) exists to eradicate human trafficking, online enticement, child sexual abuse material, and the commercial sexual exploitation of children.

TDP is working to accomplish several objectives:
1) Increase awareness regarding the methods and tactics predators use to exploit children and lure them into online enticement and/or sex trafficking
2) Collaborate with law enforcement to prevent and identify people engaged in the exploitation of children
3) Help female child survivors find their own Journey to Freedom at the Mount Arukah campus.

Strategically located in a remote area in the beautiful hills of Oklahoma, the Mount Arukah campus is comprised of five houses set up for home dorm style living for up to 60 girls, ages 11-17. The Journey Program offered at Mount Arukah is a resident-focused, community-centered, trauma-informed approach that focuses on restoring human-trafficked and sexually exploited victims to survivors, and equipping survivors to become thriving individuals. The Journey Program at the Mount Arukah campus is offered to survivors free of charge.

TDP’s strategy for fighting the four crimes we fight is the Prevention of victimization through awareness and education; the Protection of victims/survivors by providing access to quality attorneys, restorative justice, and pursuing civil litigation; to assist law enforcement with the Recovery of victims by providing Victim Advocate Support Teams; and the Restoration of survivors by empowering them to choose their own Journey to Freedom through the non-residential and residential Journey to Freedom Program.

Our capabilities to achieve these goals are continually evolving. With the help of dedicated staff and volunteers, TDP is able to accomplish these goals with excellence.

One of TDP's Core Values to be good stewards of the time, talents, and resources trusted to us; do what we say we're going to do, and admit and learn from failures.
