Brigid’s House of Hope provides specialized support and a safe space where victims/survivors of human trafficking are Safe to be Strong again.

It is a widespread issue, impacting individuals in communities across the world—right in your town, state, and country. Who are the Victims?Human trafficking can affect anyone—regardless of age, gender, race, or background. Traffickers prey on human vulnerabilities, exploiting individuals who may be in difficult or desperate situations. Vulnerabilities can range from financial hardship, immigration status, and lack of social support, to emotional isolation, low self-esteem, or a desire for a better life.Traffickers are skilled manipulators who identify these weaknesses and use them to gain control. They may lure victims with promises of jobs, a new life, or a sense of belonging, only to trap them in exploitative situations.
