THE MISSION

Leading change for 30 years

We are on a mission to end all forms of sex trafficking and exploitation while helping survivors build safe, stable futures.

The Vision

We envision a world free from all forms of sex trafficking and exploitation where everyone has the opportunity to live with dignity, independence, and the freedom to realize their full potential.

WHAT WE DO

We were founded 30 years ago to fulfill a critical gap in support services. Today, we have evolved to not only meet survivors'  needs but also tackle the root causes that enable exploitation and demand.

OUR APPROACH

From outreach to prevention, our core programs take a holistic approach to supporting survivors and ending exploitation–at its source.
