WE ARE
INTERNATIONAL
SANCTUARY
Hope Dignity freedom
Through education, employment, healthcare, and community women rebuild their lives.
It started with one
Sanctuary in India…
16 years later, International Sanctuary’s work extends around the globe to India, Uganda, and the Philippines.
Our Sanctuaries are trauma-informed workplace communities that provide survivors with healthcare, education, and economic support.
Within our Sanctuaries, women are able to grow confidence and independence to become stronger, wiser women.
