About this organization
Mission
The Refuge for DMST (Domestic Minor Sex Trafficking) has a very specific mission: To provide trauma-informed, long-term restoration community with on-site services for girls, ages 14 through 19, who have been exploited through sex trafficking.
About
Our nation has only recently begun to recognize that we have a severe societal problem in regards to the commercial sexual exploitation of children, also known as domestic minor sex trafficking. As more children are identified and rescued from their exploitive situation, there is a growing need for comprehensive, long-term, trauma-informed services to allow the child to heal and live a life of productivity and hope. Currently, more children do not have access to the broad range of therapeutic services they need to begin their healing journey. See Schedule O for continuation.
