The U.S. Institute Against Human Trafficking and Kids Not For Sale presents a special new, 4-part episode titled “Starting and Supporting a Safe Home.” In this season, we sit down with Brandy Cristafulli, the Founder and President of LifeRecaptured, a safe home out of Florida that provides shelter, restoration, and healing for trafficked women throughout the United States.
In this season, Brandy shares with us how she began her safe home, how she runs her safe home, and what she has learned along the way. This is extremely insightful for anyone wanting to end human trafficking in America. We can all be educated on where to assist organizations that help victims of human trafficking, but this dives in even deeper. Whether you are wanting to begin a safe home or simply just support, Brandy provides the proper directions for how to do just that. It goes beyond loving and caring - we must be ready to provide a service that may seem unorthodox to some of us, but helps victims restore their lives.

In this episode, we talk about starting a safe home. This may seem too far fetched for most as starting a safe home is a huge task and, understandably, only a select few are truly called to do. However, understanding what goes into starting a safe home is very important information. It can help shape how you get involved, help support, or simply approach the ministry of serving trafficked victims.

S2 Episode 6 Deep Dive: Bekah's Story

Human Trafficking is a grave problem in America and likely in your city. Misinformation, manipulation, and demand allow human trafficking to flourish in the shadows. Our goal at The US Institute Against Human Trafficking is to end human trafficking in America by educating citizens and lawmakers, disrupting sex trade activities and demand, and partnering with like-minded organizations to fight human trafficking together. In this podcast, survivors will tell their stories and truths about human trafficking and share what is actively decreasing human trafficking. By listening to this podcast, you are learning how you can grow your community to unite against human trafficking. This war will not be won overnight, but it can be won together.
