About Us

our mission

 

The mission of LION195 Against Trafficking, Inc. is to support child survivors of human trafficking with a safe place to heal and recover, while also collaborating with national and international partners to put an end to human trafficking. Our approach involves not only providing love and care to those affected by trafficking and exploitation, but also seeking justice against those responsible and working with global coalitions to address the underlying causes of trafficking. Our ultimate objective is to establish a comprehensive global network to combat trafficking, which will allow survivors to heal, reintegrate into society, and become leaders in their communities.

Our values

  • Empowerment: We believe in empowering survivors of human trafficking to take control of their lives and reach their full potential. We provide access to resources and support to help survivors rebuild their lives and thrive after experiencing such a traumatic ordeal. We also strive to empower communities to take action against human trafficking and become advocates for change. By empowering survivors and communities, we can create a world where human trafficking no longer exists.

We believe that every child deserves a chance to heal and rebuild their lives, and this home will serve as a refuge for those who have experienced the trauma of human trafficking. We are committed to providing a comprehensive range of services and support to help these children thrive and live fulfilling lives.
  • Global Anti-Human Trafficking Coalitions & Network:  By working closely with other organizations dedicated to ending human trafficking and supporting survivors, we can create a united front and disrupt the world of human trafficking.

Through this program, we strive to increase awareness about this issue and empower everyone to take action to help end child trafficking. We are committed to educating the public and equipping them with the necessary skills to identify and report cases of child trafficking.
  • Policy Division:  Our organization is dedicated to developing and implementing policies that protect the rights of human trafficking survivors, especially during their captivity and any related criminal activity. We advocate for policies that provide survivors with access to medical and mental health care, legal representation, and safe housing. Additionally, we work to hold traffickers accountable for their actions and ensure that survivors receive the justice they deserve. Our ultimate objective is to create a society where survivors are supported and empowered to rebuild their lives.
