In October, Disrupting Traffick (Disruptingtraffick.org/donate) successfully helped a young woman leave trafficking and relocate to a recovery center in a different state. She stayed at the organization’s safe house, where a volunteer host and client advocate supported her while the team secured placement in a trafficking recovery program. The client advocate then transported her to the recovery program and helped her get settled.
The safe house program provides a welcome kit with personal hygiene items, comfortable clothing, and a soft blanket. Residents also get to shop for clothing at the resource center and receive all meals at the safe house during their stay.
The volunteer safe house host helps manage daily routines and provides important emotional support to women at the safe house, ensuring they are safe and cared for during their stay. From the first intake conversation to the last hug goodbye, they prioritize trauma-informed, relational support to trafficking survivors during a highly vulnerable season of life. The organization’s goal is to ensure that when women are ready and able to leave trafficking, a safe place is available for them.
