International Sanctuary is a small to mid-sized nonprofit that supports women who have escaped human trafficking. It runs programs in India, Uganda, and the Philippines that build trauma-informed workplace communities offering education, counseling, mentoring, and opportunities for economic independence within a sense of belonging. The organization is based in Laguna Hills, California, and works to help survivors move toward stability and self-reliance. It pursues a holistic approach to recovery and empowerment, aligning services with each survivor's path to safety and growth. In 2018, the organization launched an Academy program to provide survivors with education, health care, and social-work support for the healing process. It also established a collaboration with International Justice Mission to identify survivors who are well suited for its program.
