Hope Against Trafficking

Hope Against Trafficking is a non-profit organization answering the call for safe housing and restorative support for adult female survivors of sex and labor trafficking in Southeast Michigan. We offer Magdalene Detroit – a 24-month residential program that provides rent-free housing and comprehensive services focused on physical, mental and economic transformation. This is the first program of its kind in Southeast Michigan. Survivors are referred to us by law enforcement, prominent local social service organizations, correctional facilities, and street outreach programs. Many have been caught in a cycle of addiction and sexual or economic exploitation which has been induced through threat, force, or coercion. Some have served unwarranted jail time. All come to Magdalene Detroit broken, fearful and in need. Their journey to wholeness begins when they are welcomed into a new home and given a key, a bed, every day essentials, professional trauma-informed therapy, and most importantly, compassion, empathy and hope. They join a sisterhood of healing and restored women who know their plight. When they leave, they are whole, transformed, and empowered to live their lives with joy, dignity and independence. With your help, we bring HOPE against the devastating effects of human trafficking, HOPE for stronger communities, and HOPE for the restoration of women survivors in Southeast Michigan.
