We meet each person on their unique journey, encouraging safety and working with our clients to prevent further trauma. We are client centered, and recognize that every person has the right to make choices about their own lives. We respect their autonomy and right to self-determination, and encourage all of our clients in their work toward defining what a healthy, meaningful life looks like for them.

These include political and economic conditions, legal status, race, gender, sexual orientation and more. For that reason, we are proud to serve all people who are impacted by this human rights issue. Street’s Hope acknowleges the complex web of human and societal factors that affect human trafficking victims. We envision a world where all people can make choices about their own lives, with freedom and dignity.
