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.
We focus on four components to help women embrace their true identity and worth
Income
89% of women have a savings account
Growing a Secure Woman
When survivors enter the work environment, they are treated with dignity and respect. They receive regular paychecks, open a personal bank account, and are taught to save for their future.
Education
90% of women are literate
Growing a Capable Woman
Survivors are provided access to education in areas of reading, language, math, technology, life skills, and personal finance. They work with US-based volunteers to build their English literacy.
Healthcare
Women receive 2 hours of monthly mental healthcare
Growing a Strong Woman
We provide access to ongoing healthcare for survivors, as well as mental health care, counseling, life training skills, and one-on-one mentoring.
Community
91% of women report high self-efficacy
Growing a Confident Woman
Each Sanctuary, in partnership with like-minded organizations, provides a trauma-informed community where survivors can begin to foster relationships, build trust, and safely grow.
