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.
The road to healing requires a comprehensive response. It's not enough to offer a single solution, which is why Worthwhile Wear first engages survivors where they are, in their communities, then offers long-term stability, and finally provides them with opportunities for financial independence.

Connect with survivors through community outreach at Worth It. A program that offers a series of classroom experiences designed for women who have experienced sexual trauma from exploitation, trafficking or prostitution.
Provide safe housing and wraparound services at The Well. This program offers a holistic approach to healing from sexual trauma through housing, counseling, mentorship, life skills training, personal budgeting, and more.
Offer economic self-sufficiency starting with Worthwhile Thrift. The stores provide employment to the women in our programs. Teaching participants proper work skills, how to apply for a job, and good work etiquette is crucial for achieving long-term success.
