Human Trafficking Advocacy

Human trafficking is exploitation — and it can happen to anyone.

At our shelter, we recognize the deep connection between domestic violence and human trafficking. Survivors of trafficking often experience abuse, manipulation, and control similar to intimate partner violence — and they deserve safety, support, and justice.

We’re Here to Help

If you are being trafficked — or think someone you know might be — our shelter provides a safe and confidential space to escape abuse and begin healing.

We offer:

  • Emergency shelter for survivors of trafficking

  • Trauma-informed support and advocacy

  • Help with safety planning, medical care, and legal advocacy

  • Connection to community resources and long-term support

You are not alone, and this is not your fault. We believe you, and we’re here to help you reclaim your freedom and rebuild your life.

What is Human Trafficking?

Human trafficking is the use of force, fraud, or coercion to exploit someone for labor or sex. Traffickers often prey on people who are vulnerable, isolated, or in crisis — including those fleeing domestic violence.

It can happen to:

  • Adults or children

  • Any gender or sexual orientation

  • People from all backgrounds, communities, and income levels
