About Us

What We Do

Safety is a human right.

Safe Horizon is the largest victim service organization in the country. Every year, 250,000 people seek safety through our services. Clients come to us following experiences of physical violence, sexual violence, community violence, emotional abuse, and exploitation. Often they have experienced multiple forms of harm, and for many, it was made worse by an institution that was supposed to protect them.

Our Mission

To stand with those who have experienced violence, abuse, and exploitation. We offer unwavering support and advocate for systemic change. ​

Our Vision

We envision a world where safety is a universal human right, and we all share a collective responsibility to protect and uphold it. We strive for a society where people are safe in their communities, homes, bodies, and minds.

Client-Led Support

All of our services—from housing to hotlines to clinical practices—are designed to address the multiple and intersectional forms of violence that people experience. 

There is no one-size-fits-all approach, as safety and healing are deeply personal and unique to each person. Together, we’ll find what works for you.
