Description
WE RUN FOR HER.
Join us for the 8th Annual 5K & 10K Run for HER. This family friendly event supports helping women survivors of human trafficking find freedom and leave this world's modern day slavery with hope, safe community, and recovery.
The course will be run on the beautiful trails of Norm Schoenthal Island, right along the Yellowstone River on the South side of Billings. We also have an option to run VIRTUALLY, where ever you are located.
Run For Her 5k/10K benefits the HER Campaign.
Right now, it is estimated that there are over 40 million victims of human trafficking worldwide. Whether it is forced labor or sexual exploitation, traffickers treat people like commodities and transport them throughout the world to be used for profit. In the US, tens of thousands of women are victims of human trafficking each year. After a life of trafficking, few survivors receive emergency shelter placement and long-term residential care, resulting in high rates of re-victimization. The gap in residential care for survivors is significant and the need is immediate.
HER Campaign supports recovery and prevents re-victimization of survivors, helping them move from recovery to economic independence. We are committed to helping HER heal, grow, and find purpose through residential programs for survivors of human trafficking throughout the continuum of care. Through the continuum of care from recovery to economic independence, HER Campaign meets survivors where they are at and walks the journey of healing alongside them. Through our therapeutic programming and stabilization programs, we help provide the necessary resources, support, and community for survivors to thrive.
