You are cordially invited to attend a special celebration marking the 5th anniversary of the Institute to Address Commercial Sexual Exploitation (CSE Institute). In addition to hearing powerful testimonials from those it serves, the CSE Institute is also marking its anniversary by raising funds to support its Justice for Victims Fellowship, which was created to provide holistic legal services to survivors of sex trafficking in a trauma informed manner.

As part of its efforts, Julie Uebler (Console Mattiacci Law, LLC) and Steven Wall (Morgan Lewis & Bockius LLP) have generously committed up to $200,000 in a dollar for dollar match for any gift or pledge made in support of the Fellowship through 2022.

The CSE Institute also will present its annual Justice Done Award to the PA Department of Corrections, with Secretary John Wetzel accepting on its behalf. The keynote speaker for the evening will be Taina Bien-Aimé, Executive Director of the Coalition Against Trafficking in Women.

Proceeds from this event will support the Justice for Victims Fellowship.

About the CSE Institute

The mission of the CSE Institute is to educate and provide technical assistance to those who respond to commercial sexual exploitation in Pennsylvania, the United States and beyond, promoting victim-centered, trauma-informed multidisciplinary collaboration. The Fellows directly engage with survivors by providing legal representation in the form of post-conviction relief, including vacatur and expungement, as well as connecting them to pro bono representation in other legal matters. The work of the Fellows is a central component in the CSE Institute’s mission to put the needs of survivors at the forefront of the battle to end commercial sexual exploitation.
