Survivor Leadership
When it comes to finding solutions to end human trafficking and sexual exploitation, the survivor’s voice is vital in establishing effective and comprehensive strategies that advance prosecution, protection, and prevention efforts. Survivors are uniquely equipped to help develop policies, advocate, engage with the public, or collaborate with governments to improve legislation and programming.
The Project iRISE Approach
Our program is designed for survivors by survivors with support from community partners. Using a strength-based approach our program provides a comprehensive, trauma-informed one-year training that combines experiential education, socio-emotional learning, leadership development, and upskilling for employment.
