Dr. Lois Lee (PhD & JD) is the world's leading expert in child sex trafficking. In 1979 she founded and currently serves as the President of Children of the Night- the only comprehensive program in North America devoted to saving children forced into prostitution - she has blazed a trail for social service providers, law enforcement, legislators and researchers across the globe. And her track record is impressive - Children of the Night graduates have gone on to become lawyers, executives and educators, among other professionals. For forty- one years Children of the Night has operated a variety of programs for America's child sex trafficking victims including a 24-hour toll free nationwide hotline, a drop-in center in the heart of Hollywood, street programs throughout the Western Region of the United States and a world class shelter home in Van Nuys (1992 - 2017) where 3,048 children had lived and received comprehensive case management and onsite schooling. Over the years we have maintained a 70% - 80% success rate (depending on which program) and we have placed hundreds of America's child sex trafficking victims in college. Many have become successful adults. Throughout the years, Children of the Night has gained the reputation as one of the most prominent and successful organizations in the nation addressing the needs of America's sex trafficked children. Diplomats come from all over the world to observe our work; that includes many European and Southeast Asian countries, as well as Japan, Romania, Nepal, Africa, India, Mexico and Canada. Since our inception, all Children of the Night programs have been exclusively funded by private donors. In 2018, Children of the Night developed an effective model of case management and education combining advanced internet technology and mobilized social services. Children of the Night's goal is to rescue another 10,000 young people from prostitution in one half of the time it took to rescue the first 10,000 and at a fraction of the cost.
