“The single greatest barrier to escaping sex trafficking and prostitution is a lack of safe housing.”  

-Terry Forliti, Executive Director of Breaking Free


Currently, if a victim is identified in Minnesota over the age of 18 years old, there are very few options, if any, for them to get emergency shelter. On September 1, 2019, Breaking Free opened an Emergency Shelter that will host up to four clients at a time for a period up to two weeks.

Breaking Free street outreach and community presence has increased greatly in Minneapolis and St Paul. Outreach is an important way to build trust with the community as well as raise awareness for the services Breaking Free offers to those who are being sex trafficked and prostituted.

 As the crowd rose to their feet at the Pyle Center at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in applause for a panel discussion Breaking Free survivors had participated in, I felt so proud! Proud of their courage, proud of their wisdom and proud of the voices that they each shared.
