How TEN Helps
TEN fights trafficking and slavery in 4 ways:
1) How Does TEN help Survivors?
When survivors escape or are rescued from slavery, they need a lot of support in order to reintegrate into society. Many families will not accept them back, and in some cases it is not safe for girls to live at home (if their families sold them in the first place). So for many girls, a shelter is the safest place for them to stay immediately after returning from their place of bondage.
Also, they can get services at a shelter, such as health care, HIV/AIDS treatment if needed, education, job training, and legal aid. But no one wants to spend her whole life in a shelter. After a few years, most young women are ready to live independently, and want to find work. Finding work is difficult for anyone in depressed economies; it is more difficult for a slavery survivor because of prejudice, trauma and limited education/literacy. Click to Read more
