​

An average of 23 people per minute are victims of rape, physical violence or stalking by an intimate partner in the United States — more than 12 million women and men over the course of a single year. 

 

Almost half of all women and men in the US have experienced psychological aggression by an intimate partner in their lifetime (48.4% and 48.8%, respectively). 

​

Between 94-99% of domestic violence survivors have also experienced economic abuse. 

 

70% of respondents on one study with disabilities experienced some form of abuse by an intimate partner, family member, caregiver, acquaintance or stranger.

​

85% of trafficking victims are trafficked by a family member or intimate partner.

​

It takes women 7 attempts on average to leave an abuser, lacking the resources, tools or support to survive and sustain themselves and their children post-separation.  

 

Only one out of 100 people are rescued from human trafficking.  

​

80% of human trafficking survivors end up being re-victimized without restorative care.

WHY

Hivestrong

​

The problem isn't being solved because instances of human trafficking, domestic violence and abuse are increasing across the US and globally. And while there are organizations that provide targeted emergency support, there is an unmet need to address the unique combination of issues that keep victims trapped or returning to the abusive situation.​​

​

WHAT WE DO

The mission of HiveStrong is to address that complex combination of issues through welcoming survivors into a safe space community, providing wrap around services, and providing career pathways to sustained economic empowerment.
 

HiveStrong For Life.​

WHo we help 

​

Domestive violence, abuse survivors of all types (domestic, relational, sexual, narccissistic, workplace) and human trafficking survivors.

​

Toxic experiences can occur in the workplace, in romantic relationships, with family members, and in friendships.  Individuals find themselves in these situations unwittingly, often confused or feeling shame for what they are experiencing. Exhausted and foggy from toxicity, the road ahead can be overwhelming.  Toxic experiences are deeply traumatic and destructive at a core level. Recovery requires support. Survivors need and deserve to know they are not facing it alone. 

​

In January 2024, The HiveStrong Fund was established as a 501c3 non-profit organization to provide HiveStrong services to victims of abuse without financial means to survive.
