Breaking Free
Mission: To educate and provide services to women and girls who have been victims of abuse and commercial sexual exploitation (prostitution/sex trafficking) and need assistance escaping the violence in their lives.
Philosophy Statement: We understand sex trafficking as a vicious cycle of violence, abuse, incarceration, and addiction. We understand that repeated experiences of violence undermines women and girls capacities to avoid further victimization. Sexual exploitation distorts the lives of women and girls, destroys families, and communities.
