Did you know that 70% of human trafficking survivors live below the poverty line within two years of exiting their trafficking situation?

For many survivors, leaving trafficking is only the beginning of the journey.

After completing a recovery program, survivors are often faced with a new challenge: building a stable, independent life. Many struggle to find meaningful employment due to gaps in their work history, limited education, or a criminal record—circumstances that are frequently a direct result of their trafficking experience.

These incredibly resilient women have already overcome unimaginable obstacles. Yet without access to education and career training, many continue to face significant barriers to financial stability and long-term independence.

That’s where Queens Arise comes in.

Queens Arise provides Penn Foster scholarships to survivors of human trafficking, helping them gain the education, professional certifications, and career skills needed to pursue sustainable employment and economic independence.

Through flexible, self-paced programs, survivors can work toward a brighter future while continuing their recovery journey. Education opens doors to new opportunities, increased earning potential, and the confidence that comes from investing in themselves and their future.
