Mission and Vision

Refined by Fire was founded with the mission of helping women impacted by sex trafficking by supporting safehouses, in order to provide these women with a nurturing environment where they can not only survive but truly thrive. Through a range of services and the sale of merchandise, we channel all proceeds into training staff and developing effective mental health programs for these safehouses in an effort to sustain long-term growth and healing. Did you know a woman who is rescued returns to their trafficker on average 7 times? Our goal is to solely focus on restoration in order to empower women, demonstrating that their circumstances and trauma do not define them. We believe that every woman can emerge stronger, transformed, and refined by fire.

"Survivors of human trafficking are not thriving. The systems that were supposed to protect them before, during and after their human trafficking situations failed and failed miserably. Systems such as child welfare, criminal justice and legal systems — failed. And few survivors have access to services — notably mental health and employment supports — they need to heal and thrive."-Polaris, National Survivor Study
