  • Legal Services for Trafficking Survivors

    AT JUSTICEMATTERS WE PROVIDE PREVENTIVE AND RESTORATIVE LEGAL SERVICES. SOME OF OUR CLIENTS HAVE SURVIVED HUMAN TRAFFICKING. MANY MORE ARE AT HEIGHTENED RISK OF EXPLOITATION DUE TO LACK OF LEGAL STATUS IN THE U.S., LACK OF LEGAL SECURITY IN A FAMILY, OR PRIOR EXPERIENCE OF TRAUMA. WE PROTECT THE RIGHTS OF OUR CLIENTS AND PROVIDE HIGH-QUALITY FAMILY LAW AND IMMIGRATION SERVICES, REDUCING THE RISK OF EXPLOITATION AND HELPING SURVIVORS REBUILD THEIR LIVES. OUR SERVICES UNLOCK ACCESS TO EDUCATION AND EMPLOYMENT, AND HELP OUR CLIENTS ATTAIN SAFETY, STABILITY, AND SERVICES- IMPACTING THE WELLBEING OF OUR CLIENTS AND COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE. AT ITS CORE, HUMAN TRAFFICKING IS THE EXPLOITATION OF VULNERABILITY FOR PROFIT. AT JUSTICEMATTERS WE ALSO ADDRESS THE SYSTEMS-LEVEL ISSUES THAT CREATE AND EXACERBATE VULNERABILITY, PROVIDING PROFESSIONAL TRAINING, ENGAGING IN COLLABORATIVE PARTNERSHIPS AND COLLECTIVE EFFORTS, AND ADVOCATING AT THE LOCAL, STATE, AND NATIONAL LEVEL. WE'RE COMMITTED TO CENTERING THE VOICES OF OUR CLIENTS AND COMMUNITY, ELEVATING WHAT WE LEARN TO PREVENT EXPLOITATION AND PROMOTE BETTER OUTCOMES FOR ALL SURVIVORS IN NORTH CAROLINA. OUR CLIENTS ARE OUR NEIGHBORS AND REPRESENT THE DIVERSITY OF ABILITY, AGE, ETHNICITY, GENDER, LANGUAGE, SEXUAL ORIENTATION, RACE, AND RELIGION IN OUR COMMUNITY. ALL ARE UNITED BY A COMMON THREAD: FACING A LEGAL BARRIER TO WELLBEING. JUSTICEMATTER'S SERVICES EMPOWER OUR VULNERABLE AND MARGINALIZED NEIGHBORS TO MOVE FROM VULNERABILITY INTO OPPORTUNITY. WE ARE HONORED TO TOGETHER CALL NORTH CAROLINA HOME.
