The Dreamcatcher Foundation fights to end human trafficking in Chicago. Our not-for-profit organization works to prevent the sexual exploitation of at-risk youth and helps current prostitutes find confidence and stability beyond the limitations of their current lifestyle. The Dreamcatcher Foundation fosters confidence, courage, independence, and inner strength within young people in disadvantaged areas. Our harm reduction approach allows Chicago’s most disenfranchised young women take advantage of all of the mentoring services we offer and improve their lives through education, empowerment, and prevention.
Being part of the Graduate Alliance of Student Social Workers we welcomed Ms. Stephanie Daniels-Wilson and Ms. Brenda Myers-Powell to speak to us about their work with sex workers, and the other interventions that they offer.
