Freedom from Fear and Violence
We fight human trafficking by helping survivors build their lives
in a way that is empowering and meaningful to them.
More than 900 women and men are on sale for commercial sex each month in Nebraska.
Even if you don't see it, human trafficking is happening all around us, perhaps even in your own community.
Human trafficking is the exploitation of a person for compelled labor or a commercial sex act through force, fraud or coercion.
Those who have been trafficked work for an individual who has either tricked them or used threats against the survivor or someone the survivor cares about in order to get them to engage in sexual activity or forced labor. Money, favors, drugs or other items of value are exchanged for these services, but typically the survivor sees little to no profit for their work. In the case of sex trafficking, often traffickers promise a romantic relationship to lead women and men into sex work for their own personal gain.
The Salvation Army's Fight to End Trafficking
Program Mission
To help survivors of all forms of trafficking
build their lives in a way that is
empowering and meaningful to them
The Salvation Army's Fight to End Trafficking (SAFE-T) program supports survivors of trafficking throughout Nebraska by offering comprehensive case management to help them reach their life goals. In partnership with the Nebraska Attorney General's Office, the SAFE-T program oversees the Nebraska Human Trafficking Task Force through a joint initiative funded through the Department of Justice. As the lead service provider, we collaborate with an array of community agencies that understand the basic dynamics of trafficking and can help solve problems and meet survivors' needs.
We provide resources such as emergency or long-term housing, food, clothing, emotional support and counseling, healthcare, drug and alcohol treatment, childcare, transportation, help navigating the immigration system, education and employment opportunities, legal assistance, and help setting goals.
If you believe you have been trafficked and would like to learn more about our services, please call the National Human Trafficking Hotline at 1-888-373-7888 and request to speak with a SAFE-T staff member in Nebraska.
For more information about SAFE-T, please call 402-898-4768.
