The Issue

Human trafficking is the second-largest criminal industry in the world, with over 800,000 people trafficked against their will across international borders each year. For those who escape, many are left with the scarring aftermath of trauma and addiction from being treated like a commodity. The road to healing requires a comprehensive response. It's not enough to offer a single solution, which is why Worthwhile Wear utilizes a multi pronged approach to address this growing issue.

It's not enough to offer a single solution, which is why Worthwhile first engages survivors where they are, in their communities, then offers long-term stability, and finally provides them with opportunities for financial independence. Learn about what we do in this quick 3 minute video.

"I am learning that I have a voice and I AM ENOUGH! My past no longer defines me and I am forever grateful for this program and all the people involved!"

I am not what happened to me. I am not the wrongs I have done. I am not the mistakes I have made. I am not forgotten, abandoned, nor alone. I am worth it!

I used to be a prisoner in my own body that was a slave to silence. Becuase of this program I have freedom and I have a voice!
