A Path Forward
Services
Meeting the needs of individual
human trafficking survivors
and those who want to help them
Services to bridge survivors to their future
Children and teens should be learning and having fun with their friends, not focused on just surviving the day.
Our services to these survivors of human trafficking by meeting their basic needs will just be the initial steps towards reclaiming their dignity and building a future that is far different from the trauma they have just survived.
Safe Spaces for Minor Survivors of Child Trafficking
We understand the urgent need for care when a child is rescued from trafficking. Children in our our safe spaces will receive food, clothing and have other basic needs met by trained staff in a loving, peaceful environment.
Meanwhile, law enforcement, social services, the courts, families, or other adults involved in the situation or case have the time to make the best decisions for the next steps in the child’s care.
Short-term Shelter
Sometimes it will take longer than a few days for arrangements to be completed for the next step in a child survivor’s journey of freedom.
We will work with supporters and partners to locate a suitable property in our region that can be renovated as a safe short-term shelter for girls ages 11-17 and hire and train the staff.

Providing more than a Safe Place
Some girls under the age of 18 will need access to long-term programming and services but will not be able to reunite with their families or face other obstacles.
The goal of our long-term safe home is to help them become independent, wise, and thriving adults with strong friendships and a dependable support network, all of which will help reduce the risk of re-victimization.
Ohio is among the states that have extended foster care beyond 18 so these children have more time to transition to independent living. They can learn a trade or attend college, find stable employment with a sustainable income, etc. while having a safe place to live.
The Queen’s Corner is committed to continuing to help those girls we began serving as minors who want to stay connected with us as they finish their teens and grow into their twenties through aftercare services.
Supporting adult survivors
Adult women who survived being trafficked as children may not have had access to the types of counseling and services they needed when they were young.
We will connect them to resources in the community and our strategic partners who can meet their needs, walking alongside them as a trusted friend and their biggest cheerleader!
community Outreach
Hosting and supporting awareness events
Our aim is to help parents, guardians, teachers, community members, and others learn how to reduce the risk of having a child they know to become a victim of traffickers, be aware of missing children who may be in the area, and learn the signs of child trafficking and know what to do.
Training of Professionals and Caregivers
We will create and support events that bring experts in human trafficking to our region to provide training for those who will engage with these survivors and their families.
