Mission

The refuge for dmst's (domestic minor sex trafficking) mission is to provide trauma-informed, long-term restoration, shelter and services to girls 11-17 years old, who have been exploited through sex trafficking. recognizing the lack of safe and holistic shelters for rescued children, we hope to establish a place of refuge for girls to heal and find hope for a new life. through collaboration with many therapeutic service providers within the austin community, we aim to develop a circle of care around each survivor, addressing her unique emotional, physical, mental and spiritual needs. as christian abolitionists, we boldly envision a city passionately opposed to sex trafficking of children and a community committed to restoring purpose, value, and choice to the lives of survivors.
