Wall Of ShameChange
Scratch to see the wall of change

The journey for human trafficking survivors does not end once they are rescued from their traffickers. Reintegrating into their community and healing from their experiences is a difficult process. During this time, they face a lot of stigma and shame from their communities, friends, and even family. Through this initiative, we partnered with influential creators and pages to show the survivors that they still have a community of support who are walking alongside them in their post-rescue journey.
