Survivor Services for Human Trafficking and Domestic and Sexual Violence: We work side-by-side with survivors of human trafficking and domestic and sexual violence to achieve safety and self-determination, as well as on a limited basis with survivors of domestic and sexual violeance. We focus on providing trauma-informed services that are client-centered from start to finish, ensuring access to appropriate support services and high-quality legal assistance. We investigate and interrupt human trafficking schemes, while working to transform the culture of the anti-trafficking field by leading victim-centered training programs for service providers and law enforcement. Our human trafficking specialists work closelt with law enforcement and our legal team to hold perpetrators accountable and to support trafficking survivors on their path to self-determination. This program is primarily supported by contributions.

Expenses: $237K

Advocacy: We partner with worker centers and organizations to build power for vulnerable workers, address the root causes of workplace injustice, and advance public policies that strengthen the legal rights and protections of workers. This program is primarily supported by contributions.
