  • Descrição: The first rape crisis center in the United States, Bay Area Women Against Rape (BAWAR), has assisted survivors of sexual violence for more than 40 years, including helping survivors find immediate safe shelter. The SafeNight mobile app, which was made possible by funding provided by the Vodafone Americas Foundation, Blue Shield of California Foundation, and United Way of Metropolitan Dallas, enables shelters to alert donors in real time that a survivor needs emergency shelter in the form of a hotel or motel room. While domestic violence survivors typically face one abuser, "trafficking is essentially organized crime" and could involve a network of "manipulative and resourceful" people, according to Owens. Because of this, trafficking survivors in particular "have high levels of distrust," says Jim White, the executive director of Covenant House, a national network of shelters for young people that has programming in place for human trafficking survivors. The Collaborative estimates that it has helped at least 1,351 survivors-an estimation based on the sum of the number of donations they've received for hotel rooms and the number of placements that agencies report as "successful." Since agencies aren't required to confirm the final placement, and a single donated hotel room frequently houses more than one person, the number of individuals the Collaborative has helped is likely higher.
