ABOUT HER CAMPAIGN
HER Campaign exists to be the bridge between rescue and freedom for survivors of human trafficking. Since our founding in 2016, we have supported over 200+ survivors through crisis intervention and various stages of recovery. We believe that without safe housing, survivors face devastating cycles of revictimization. That’s why we provide emergency stabilization and aftercare programs—a vital foundation of trauma-informed, holistic care that empowers women to heal, grow, and reclaim their independence.
We are a global movement of abolitionists committed to creating safe spaces, advancing innovative care, and equipping survivors with the tools to thrive. At HER Campaign, we stand on the values of integrity, humility, teachability, and a heart of collaboration, always centering the needs and voices of the women we serve. Our culture is rooted in the belief that “Hospitality Comes First,” ensuring that every woman who enters our doors is treated with dignity, love, and respect.
Join our mission-driven team at HER Campaign, where we provide safe housing and holistic emergency stabilization for survivors of human trafficking.
