There has been an alarming increase of reports and concerns about sexual violence in our community and throughout Central Minnesota. Minnesota has the third highest prostitution rate nationwide. St. Cloud is rated second in Minnesota. St. Cloud has been identified by survivors and local law-enforcement as a "training hub" for prostitution in the State of Minnesota. CMSAC serves an average of 70-100 victims of commercial sexual exploitation per year.

Proceeds benefit Central Minnesota Sexual Assault Center

Our first Walk was hosted on Saturday, April 27, 2019. In 2023 raised a total of $37,672 in sponsorships, registrations, and $10,935 in-kind donations and had over 100 walkers registered and 38 sponsors registered. All proceeds from the event benefit Central MN Sexual Assault Center’s (CMSAC) services to survivors of sex trafficking/exploitation and other forms of sexual violence, including child sexual abuse. Without community support we could not do the work we do for victims/survivors of sexual exploitation/trafficking without the help of generous individuals like you!

The Walk’s goal is to raise awareness and educate as many people as possible in our community about the damaging effects of sexual exploitation in hopes to change society’s attitudes. These efforts hope to end the demand for sexual exploitation as well as eradicate the acts of sexual violence within our communities and society.
