Mission Statement

Our mission is to expose human trafficking and domestic violence.  SAFE is committed to alleviating the suffering of those who are being trafficked by providing safe housing, education, mentoring, and training. SAFE is dedicated to empowering victims of trafficking and domestic violence to develop their own voices through counseling and emotional healing so that they can not only survive but succeed in life. SAFE is committed to raising awareness via social media, public, political, and church platforms.

Vision Statement

SAFE is a non-profit organization focused on the rescue of trafficked women who have been disconnected from homes and children with the hope of bringing them restoration.  SAFE works to raise awareness of all facets of the problems associated with human trafficking, to bring about a greater understanding of the extent of the problem, to grow our organization with both housing and outreach programs, to partner with other nonprofit organizations to fight these horrific crimes, to speak out for victims’ rights and provide services for survivors.

About Us

SAFE Network Inc. is pleased to have the opportunity to sponsor one of the first residences for survivors of human trafficking and their children in New York City.  The leaders of SAFE know from first-hand experience not only the horrors of trafficking but the ways to survive it and to help others effectively.  It is our hope that with the support of the service community for survivors of human trafficking, generous benefactors, and grants, we will be able to offer women victims of human trafficking a safe and secure transition to a new life. We anticipate providing a comprehensive program of human services, with the help of our partners in case management, and a living situation in which one learns the benefits and joys of living in partnership with others in a sharing and mutually satisfying environment.  It is through this experience that the cycle of abuse and dependency can be broken, and women can be given the strength to make independent decisions for themself and those they care about.
