Safe Housing

Safe Housing refers to secure and appropriate accommodation for trafficking victims. In the context of human trafficking, safe housing is a critical component of victim support and recovery efforts. Trafficking victims may be in need of safe housing to escape from their traffickers or to recover from the physical and emotional trauma of their exploitation. Safe housing can provide a secure and supportive environment where victims can access medical care, counseling, legal assistance, and other services. In addition, safe housing can help to prevent re-trafficking and support victims in their transition to independent living.
