At the Monday noon meeting on December 15, Courtney Dow, Director and Founder of Nightlight Atlanta, spoke to the Rotary Club of Lawrenceville about her group’s work with victims of commercial sexual exploitation.  Nightlight is an international organization begun in Thailand in 2005 and in Atlanta in 2008. It is “committed to addressing the complex issues surrounding trafficking and prostitution by catalyzing individual and community transformation.” She mentioned various synonyms for commercial sexual exploitation and outlined the four-step process used by Nightlight:  Prevention, Intervention, Restoration, and Education.  She emphasized that Restoration is the longest and most complex step in which coping mechanisms are stressed and opportunities for individuals to rescue themselves are provided.  A goal is to increase public awareness and to change attitudes, mainly male attitudes, toward the acceptability of pornography and sex-related activities.
