Her Future Coalition: Empowering Survivors of Human Trafficking and Gender Abuse
Human trafficking is a global issue that affects millions of people every year. Women and children are particularly vulnerable to this form of modern-day slavery, which involves the use of force, fraud, or coercion to exploit individuals for labor or sexual purposes. In many cases, victims are lured into trafficking through false promises of employment or education opportunities.
Her Future Coalition is a non-profit organization that is dedicated to helping survivors of human trafficking and gender abuse rebuild their lives. Founded in 2005 by Sarah Symons and John Berger, Her Future provides education and vocational training programs that empower survivors with the skills they need to achieve financial independence and self-sufficiency.
The mission of Her Future Coalition is simple: to create a world where women and children are free from exploitation. Through its various programs, the organization works towards this goal by providing survivors with access to education, job training, healthcare services, legal support, and other resources that help them overcome the trauma they have experienced.
One of the key initiatives offered by Her Future Coalition is its Education Program. This program provides scholarships for survivors who wish to pursue higher education degrees in fields such as nursing, teaching, social work or business management. By investing in their future through education opportunities like these scholarships provide hope for a better life after surviving human trafficking.
Another important program offered by Her Future Coalition is its Artisan Program which offers vocational training in jewelry making & design as well as sewing & embroidery techniques. These skills enable survivors to earn an income while also providing them with therapeutic benefits from creating beautiful pieces.
In addition to these programs focused on empowering individual survivors directly impacted by human trafficking; Her Future also works on advocacy efforts aimed at raising awareness about this issue globally while also advocating for policy changes at local levels around the world.
Her Future's work has been recognized internationally for its impact on empowering women who have survived human trafficking and gender abuse. The organization has received numerous awards for its efforts, including the 2019 United Nations NGO CSW Forum Award for Best Practices in Empowering Women and Girls.
If you are looking to support an organization that is making a real difference in the lives of survivors of human trafficking and gender abuse, Her Future Coalition is an excellent choice. By donating your time or resources to this worthy cause, you can help empower women and children around the world to build brighter futures for themselves and their communities.
