Hope for New York

Restore NYC was founded in 2004 to provide services for internationally sex trafficked women in New York City. Restore implements a comprehensive model of service delivery for our clients as a way to fight the epidemic of modern-day slavery in NYC. Our program provides tailored services that are victim-centered and implements an empowerment model that focuses on restoring a client’s freedom and identity through validation, community and a celebration of strengths. Our goal is to support and walk alongside our clients as they move forward in their healing journey.

Currently, Restore offers specialized services for the Spanish, Korean, and Chinese immigrant populations. As our organization continues to expand, we will seek to provide services for other international women who are victims of sex trafficking. Restore’s program is designed to holistically address the long-term effects of sex trafficking on this unique population.
