Transitional and restorative shelter programs for women recovering from domestic sex trafficking.
We reach out and help other agencies, who will then be able to reach more victims.
ABOLITIONISTS for victims of domestic sex trafficking since 2007
The Samaritan Women’s mission is to glorify GOD by seeking justice, reconciliation, and healing. We fulfill our mission through:
- Learning what makes for effective and compassionate care and sharing that research with others.
- Equipping and mentoring start-up agencies across the nation so that every survivor has access to qualified care.
- Inspiring people–inside and outside of the Church–to engage in abolition through awareness, prevention, service, and advocacy.
- Operating shelter programs for young women recovering from the trauma and abuse of domestic sex trafficking.
OUR VISION:
That any survivor, anywhere in the nation, would have access to qualified, compassionate care.
