Through awareness campaigns, education and legislative efforts, Rescue Innocence Movement works to equip Alabamians to prevent and overcome the harms associated with pornography and sex trafficking. RIM also assists existing NGO’s in vital campaigns to combat child sexual exploitation in Alabama. Whether it’s raising funds for the UAB Child Trafficking Initiative, providing prevention education to schools and churches, hosting state-wide awareness events, raising billboards, or promoting important legislation, RIM is focused on addressing the full spectrum of needs from prevention to recovery.
We believe every child deserves a safe, wholesome childhood and a chance at a life filled with dignity and meaning. We know that the plague of sexual exploitation, in all its various forms, truly threatens to rob the world of innocence, dignity, and mutual respect. This is why we are taking a stand to protect children, reverse harmful trends and promote a world free from sexual exploitation.
