Program areas at National Center on Sexual Exploitation
Litigationthe ncose law Center is an advocate for survivors of Sexual abuse and Exploitation in litigation against mega corporations and systems that have facilitated their abuse and intervenes in key, precedent-setting cases. While still in its infancy, the ncose law Center has already brought together some of america's leading plaintiffs law firms to begin bringing dozens, and soon hundreds, of cases to the courts. This is similar to the strategy that was used to bring other harmful industries such as big tobacco to their knees.
