Rescue Her exists to empower survivors of sex trafficking to live in freedom. This is accomplished through raising awareness, our 24/7 Crisis Response team, and our long-term Empower Program. Rescue Her provides crisis response for adult, female victims of trafficking in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area who have just been recovered from an exploitive situation within the last 72 hours, or who are still being exploited and need help leaving. Since 2017, we have operated our 24/7 crisis hotline, which receives calls from local law enforcement, homeland security, hospitals, the National Trafficking Hotline, other non-profit agencies, community members, and victims themselves. Within the first 90 minutes of receiving a call, our team’s goal is to respond in-person to begin offering emotional support, assessing emergency needs, and coordinating immediate next steps. In addition to crisis response, Rescue Her provides long-term advocacy services for adult, female survivors of trafficking in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area through our Empower Program. Our program focuses on empowerment in these five areas: Legal, Independent Living (housing, transportation, financial), Community, Safe Environment, and Health (physical, emotional, mental). Each Brave One, or survivor in our program, is paired with a staff Advocate and a Volunteer Mentor to offer emotional support, guidance, and assistance identifying and reaching goals. Brave Ones also receive financial support for things like transportation to and from work/school, medical/prescription needs, and basic necessities (clothes/food/hygiene) with the end goal being financial independence.
