Working to end sexual violence and improve health outcomes through education.

Our Mission

Allies for Healing is a community-based 501(c)(3) organization that provides sexual health and wellness education for vulnerable and marginalized youth. We are dedicated to preventing sexual violence and trafficking in the sex industry through education, advocacy, and community partnerships that center on racial, gender, and sexual justice. We provide sexual health workshops, training on trauma-informed and healing-centered care, and holistic resources for sexual assault and human trafficking survivors.

Our Vision

To create a world free from sexual violence and exploitation, where every individual feels empowered in their body and identity, and engages with others in safe, healing, and affirming ways that center joy and pleasure.
