Aware of the growing and frightening increase in cases of Human Trafficking, Abuse, and Sexual Exploitation of women, children, and adolescents, suffered by the Brazilian community, the Hope & Justice Foundation led the Brazilian government to the need for these victims to have the support and support needed to leave the situation of trafficking, abuse or exploitation in which they are, and can be supported in the shelter for Women, Children and Adolescents – Ararat Safe Harbor – A New Beginning, in the city of Orlando FL.
