One of the biggest struggles survivors face after escaping the oppression of sex trafficking is earning a livable wage. Getting an education and landing a good job aren’t at the top of the list of priorities when you’re fighting every day just to survive. Often times survivors become adults with minimal education and no stable work history. Struggling to make ends meet puts additional stress on top of the hard work required to mentally and emotionally heal from the trauma a survivor has faced. The Marie McClanahan Education & Empowerment program opens doors for survivors and gives them the opportunity to turn their dreams of a career into reality. Whether it be web design, cosmetology, real estate or accounting, recipients of the program receive financial aid to pursue a degree or professional certification.
