Sexual assault, abuse and trafficking are grave violations of human rights that can leave lasting emotional, psychological and physical scars. These crimes often occur in silence, with victims feeling isolated, powerless or afraid to seek help. Sexual assault and abuse can happen to anyone—regardless of age, gender, race or background—and often involve someone the victim knows and trusts. Human trafficking, a form of modern-day slavery, exploits vulnerable individuals through force, fraud or coercion for labor or commercial sex. At HooverTogether, we are committed to raising awareness, providing support and advocating for the safety, dignity and recovery of survivors. Through education, prevention efforts and access to resources, we strive to create a world where every person is protected and empowered.
