2021 Light the Darkness Simulcast
The Samaritan Women and Southeast Christian Church was honored to have co-hosted a national showcase of speakers, advocates, and service providers committed to serving victims of domestic human trafficking. We reached over 9,000 people across the country and raised awareness of the lack of services available to survivors. The 2022 event promises to be even bigger. Mark your calendar today!
