The Joseph Project is a nonprofit organization that connects human trafficking survivors with pro-bono legal services. It is inspired by the Biblical account of history’s earliest recorded survivor, who transitioned from exploitation to empowerment (Genesis 37-50).

LEVERAGING THE LAW TO EMPOWER THE ENSLAVED:

Our mission is to connect human trafficking survivors with skilled pro bono legal counsel. By leveraging the law, we empower the enslaved, addressing the legal consequences of commercial exploitation and transitioning survivors toward an empowered future.

 The Justice Gap: 

Human trafficking survivors often face exploitation-related legal issues, including criminal record impediments, family law obstacles, and immigration challenges. Unfortunately, they do not have the knowledge or the financial means to secure skilled legal representation. Known as the Justice Gap, this inability to secure legal assistance impedes survivors from moving toward a brighter future.

Legal First Responders:

Closing the Justice Gap for human trafficking survivors requires the creation of a broad network of Legal First Responders – an army of pro bono attorneys who are committed and equipped to service their legal needs at no cost.
