SAFE Coalition for Human Rights(SAFECHR) is An Accredited NGO with Special Status with the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) of the United Nations in recognition of our work on reducing human trafficking.
SAFE Coalition for Human Rights is a nonprofit registered with the Illinois Secretary of State in March 2014. SAFECHR was formed to support the objectives of SAFE 2014 Conference : Sex-Trafficking Awareness, Freedom, and Empowerment (SAFE). The team is entirely made up of volunteers donating their time, energies, and commitment to making our citizen-driven, survivor-driven conference a success.
SAFECHR was born when a group of survivors attended a conference in November and shared their stories creating an impetus that their experiences and lack of wrap around services needed to fuel debate and discussion on how we can create a bridge from victim to survivor, from insensitivity to creative awareness, and from successful trafficker to incarcerated criminal.
Since January 2014, the volunteer commit- tee has worked together to gather a diverse group of professionals to come together to find solutions and develop a working global task force that meets each month to implement these findings.
