CARING FOR THOSE AT-RISK
ANTI-HUMAN TRAFFICKING
We intentionally work to address the injustices of trafficking and care for those at risk, so they feel valued, seen, loved, protected, and empowered to experience abundant life.
Our focus on anti-human trafficking runs though all we do
Protect the vulverable and at-risk.
IDEAS’ strategic focus on anti-human trafficking runs through all our programs. We combine the strengths of our community development, health and wellness, education, and agriculture programs to integrate methods that mitigate risks for individuals vulnerable to or victimized by human trafficking.
Programs Spotlight
Relentless: Health Care Intervention
Seeking liberty for survivors through trauma-informed health care.
Location: U.S. + Global, since 2011
IDEAS’ anti-human trafficking programs seek liberty through health so that any and all abused, exploited, or trafficked people receive quality trauma-informed healthcare and are better able to thrive in health and wellness for the rest of their lives. We do this by building the capacity of direct service organizations to develop more holistic and effective interventions.
Making long-term recovery possible
IDEAS fills a critical gap in trafficking survivor care.
IDEAS is passionate about providing quality, whole-person care for individuals. We implement best practices for trauma-informed care, including the impact of chronic trauma and the need for long-term recovery. We address and provide mitigation tactics to the root-causes and systemic factors that lead to human trafficking across the globe.

Creating a more nurturing environment
We protect by creating healthier communities for people to live in.
At IDEAS, we know from experience that human trafficking doesn’t happen in a vacuum. Challenges like poverty, cultural context, and access to education make specific populations more vulnerable to trafficking.
Through our partnerships in the U.S. and around the world, IDEAS is providing trauma-informed care to survivors of trafficking helps them feel seen, loved and valuable. All the while helping create the ecosystem needed for healthier, thriving communities.
We are compassionate professionals bringing needed expertise
Community development + anti-human trafficking
IDEAS community development serves as the foundation for all our programs. We start by listening. In IDEAS, we work by understanding the needs of the local communities to provide protection and prevention to those most at risk of being trafficked.

Stories of Transformation
Alma was born in Guatemala with a disability called spina bifida. Unable to walk, she spent the first 14 years of her life isolated, locked in a room, confined to a bed or the floor. Her mother said she was a mistake. Her father said she was not his daughter. Alma wanted to go to school and have friends, but her disability made that impossible.
