Breaking Cycles of Abuse.
Building Financial Freedom.
Domestic violence and human trafficking traps victims in cycles of control. Financial abuse keeps them there.
We help build bridges to safety and independence.
The Problem
Domestic Violence
The NNEDV reports DV as a “Public Health Crisis” with 10,000,000 reported incidents annually. 1 in 3 women are affected.
Human Trafficking
Over 1,000,000 victims are currently bound to the sex and labor trade in the U.S., with $38B earned from forced labor.
Financial Abuse
99% of DV & HT victims experience financial abuse. Without financial security, escape is more difficult and dangerous.
