We Help Survivors of Human Trafficking Reclaim Their Lives

You don’t have to face this alone. Whether you’re ready to speak with someone today or simply looking for information, we’re here for you. The support process for survivors of human trafficking is coordinated by our partner, the National Reporting Center (NRC); you can find them at nrc.sx. Victim Support Services (VSS), as an official partner of NRC, works closely with them to ensure you receive compassionate, judgment‑free, trauma‑informed care. We listen, support, and guide you at your own pace. Every conversation is completely confidential, and all our services are offered at no cost. Your safety, dignity, and healing are our top priorities—always.
