Together We Love, Restore, & Support Women Escaping Exploitation
Programs and results
What we aim to solve
Human Trafficking is a newer word, but slavery and exploitation have always been a part of every civilization. We believe awareness education is leading to more prevention and intervention throughout the world. It is a very complex issue in HOW it happens and HOW to help stop and provide care for the victims. We have chosen to be a part of the awareness education, and partnering with those who do intervention work, and provide restoration services for women escaping sexual exploitation and trafficking in the US. The most complex need and the heart of our mission is for restoration of women's lives. The women need care, support, and services for psychological, physical, emotional, spiritual, and relational needs ALL at the SAME TIME. This is a very specialized need.
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Domestic Human Trafficking Awareness
Presentations on Domestic Human Trafficking and how we can engage in prevention, intervention, and restoration of victims. Intro to the 5 elements that each victim has been traumatized, and the hard road for survivors to real restoration, and how WE can love, restore, and support them through it all, as well as real life examples of hope from Survivors. Together we will open a long-term restorative care home for women in Wisconsin.
Long-term Restorative Care Housing
Training advocates to learn how to love, restore, and support women has they heal through all 5 elements that each victim has been traumatized. Gathering resources and building collaboration within surrounding communities. (We are seeking to acquire 5 acres or more with a multi-bedroom home in Waukesha County, WI. We are dedicated to establishing a home that provides mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual healing for women victims of domestic sex trafficking & exploitation.
Survivor Support
We want to be able to offer support for temporary needs. We have survivors that we encounter through various ways that we can help with finances, education, life skills, or getting them to a restorative care home within the National Trafficking Shelter Alliance. Most survivors we are able to support at this time are not in need of a long-term home, but still need strong, consistent support to manage 'normal' life.
Wisconsin Lantern Walk- Community Engagement
We love to partner with community events and engage the public in what we do and how they can be a part! Collaboration with other semi- related organizations is the key with our WI Lantern Walk; Shining Light in the Darkness is the theme.
Healthy Relationships
This is where trained volunteers do life with them- by Eating, Playing, Creating, Learning, and talking together in monthly events.
This event is important because:
• Consistency builds trust to grow and become whole.
• It brings a sense of Community that breeds real friendships
• It brings them Fun & Joy which leads them to hope for a future.
Relationship life skills!
