Description of services: At this time, we can provide after care, friendship and connection, prayer, and spiritual support for victims and survivors of human trafficking and sexual exploitation who are pregnant. After Care includes advocacy and support for victims and survivors as they navigate social services and other resources. We have a team of volunteers who respond to our hotline calls and texts and walk alongside women in their transition and transformation.
Eligibility Requirements: Many of the women we already work with are pregnant. It is very common that the breaking point for women getting out of the life and away from their pimp is pregnancy. At that point they are seeking help to find healthcare, support, housing, and safety from their trafficker/pimp. We do street outreach and give gift bags with our hotline number in it. That is how many of the women we help find us.
Preferred process for receiving referrals: The best way would either be through email (hotline@afterhoursministry.org) or through our hotline number (323-524-8044).
Connection To Referral Network: We are so excited to be a part of this referral network because many of the women we meet through street outreach and our hotline are pregnant. We are always looking for more support and partners to help us help the women who reach out to us through our hotline. It is so easy to feel isolated and disconnected from other organizations and services, but it would be SO much better if we collaborated and could support each other as we support these women!
