CORE PROGRAMS

Pathways to freedom & healing

Our survivor-centered programs provide advocacy, housing, outreach, and prevention to support those impacted by sex trafficking. See how we create lasting change.

Core Programs

​​Our core programs take a holistic approach, recognizing that true healing goes beyond survivor support—it requires addressing the root causes of exploitation.

 

Through direct services, advocacy, and prevention–including a comprehensive public training program–we confront demand, challenge harmful norms, and work toward building a society free from sex trafficking.
