At Amara, survivors of sex trafficking and sex workers in need of specialized legal services find attorneys who are trained to provide trauma-informed and culturally competent support. Social stigma and complex cases often make it challenging for survivors and sex workers to find lawyers willing to advocate for them. Beyond making these resources available for free to 70+ clients each year, Amara ensures they have access to the housing and mental health services they need by partnering with other local organizations. Know Your Rights and other trainings for schools, medical providers, and community groups broaden public understanding of how to reduce trauma when interacting with survivors, what the risk factors for trafficking are, and where survivors can access legal services. For Amara, justice truly begins when survivors lead the way.
