Crisis Response

We operate a crisis hotline for survivors seeking emergency services such as safe shelter, emergency medical assistance, legal rights, emotional support, transportation, and basic needs. Our goal is to connect each survivor to long-term housing and/or supportive resources.

Population(s) Served
Women
Adults
Sex workers

We provide long-term support services and assist survivors with meeting goals in 5 core areas: legal, independent living, community, safe environment, and health. Each survivor is paired with an Advocate and a Volunteer Mentor to offer key emotional support. Survivors also receive financial assistance, with the goal of financial independence. Our advocacy services have no end date.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

Rescue Her exists to empower survivors of sex trafficking to live in freedom.

We empower survivors of sex trafficking through our two main departments: crisis response and long-term advocacy (our Empower Program).

Our staff of six operates a crisis hotline for adult, female victims of trafficking, as well as leads the Empower Program – a long-term advocacy program that assist survivors in achieving their goals to help them live in freedom.

So far in 2022 we have served over 60 women through our crisis hotline. We have also continued to assist 6 women currently in our Empower Program. In 2022, our goal is to serve over 100 women through our crisis hotline, and graduate 4 women out of our Empower Program so that we can welcome new survivors in.
