Behind The Rescue Door

For survivors of exploitation, and particularly with multiple intersecting issues like domestic violence, Gender Based Violence, arrest and incarceration, making the decision to step into an anti-trafficking program can feel like entering a new and daunting world—one with potential opportunities for healing, but also defined by rules, expectations, and barriers that can feel overwhelming. These programs, while designed to provide safety and resources, often require survivors to navigate strict eligibility criteria, rigid guidelines, and limited support systems that may not fully address the complex and intersecting challenges they face.
