At Shadows of Strength, our Rebuilding through Self Defense Initiative was born out of a commitment to empower survivors in rebuilding their lives beyond traditional support. While mental health services, addiction recovery, mentoring, and life skills are crucial, we realized the importance of equipping survivors with the ability to protect themselves as they transition out of trafficking situations. Self-defense training not only enhances personal safety but also fosters strength, confidence, and independence, helping survivors reclaim these essential qualities.

By partnering with women-owned organizations like Alpha Female Tactical and Confidently Carry, we aim to provide survivors of human trafficking and sexual assault with the skills they need for self-protection. We invite you to support this initiative and join us in making a profound impact in restoring hope and empowerment for survivors. Your donations can help us continue this vital work and further encourage resilience and self-reliance.
