*BMVP - Expand Services for Survivors of Human Trafficking

The HER Campaign's mission is "To help women survivors of human trafficking heal, grow, and find purpose." Sex trafficking and sexual exploitation is a prevalent issue in our world today, a growing problem that has plagued our nation and the state of Montana. (https://humantraffickinghotline.org/state/montana) The desire of HER Campaign and our HER Refuge program is to serve women who are survivors of sexual exploitation including sex trafficking, domestic abuse, and sexual trauma. The majority of trafficking victims come from vulnerable backgrounds with a history of sexual abuse, poverty, foster care, and homelessness. Estimates for the number of people at risk of becoming trafficking victims in the United States varies widely, from 100,000 to 300,000. What is most consistently expressed is the dearth of qualified shelter care programs to aid victims in their healing and restoration back into society. (https://www.shelteredalliance.org/who-we-are) The program ensures survivors of sex trafficking are able to safely step out of a life of poverty and into a life of independence after graduating the HER Refuge program.
