Major Activities

Activity 2

ART THERAPY: JewelGirls - JewelGirls is an economic empowerment and therapeutic art program that gives teen women a chance for safer, healthier, and brighter futures. Currently, JewelGirls supports 200 teen women in Bosnia, Serbia, Russia, Uganda, and Washington, D.C. Participants come together each week to create unique jewelry while gaining access to therapy, new life skills, financial management skills, and pathways toward a future free of poverty and violence. Fifty percent of proceeds go directly to the individual girl artist while the remaining 50 percent goes toward purchasing new supplies and materials to sustain her program. JewelGirls come from many backgrounds but all share a common interest in making their own lives better. Many of the young women participants of JewelGirls have experienced situations of sex and labor trafficking, as well as extreme poverty. However, JewelGirls focuses on their resiliency and passion for a better life.

Activity 3

DIRECT SERVICES: Compassionate Care - FAIR Girls provides emergency response services and compassionate individualized care to both domestic and foreign-born trafficked girls ages 11 to 21 in each of our program locations. Upon receiving a tip or call, a FAIR Girls representative meets the girl on location to provide a comprehensive trafficking assessment and initial trauma response. Our team is comprised of a licensed clinical social worker, outreach and case managers, survivor advocates, and social work interns who are trained in providing emergency care to trafficking survivors. We accept client referrals from local and federal law enforcement, government agencies, social workers, teachers, local partners, and the community. We also conduct regular outreach and provide referrals of missing and exploited girls to local and federal law enforcement. Our emergency teams provide a wide range of assistance such as: Immediate hour crisis intervention, crisis counseling and initial overnight support to ensure girls feel safe and not alone, new clothes and basic toiletries to ensure the client's needs are met with compassion and dignity, personalized long-term counseling, Referral to safe and confidential emergency shelter, referral to pro-bono legal support to ensure all immigration, criminal, and family matters are addressed quickly and confidentially, medical clinics to ensure the client's well-being and emergency health needs.
