Programs & Projects

The Rain Collective brings together medium size learning communities to develop strategies, build new partnerships within the movement, and to build the capacity of organizations addressing human trafficking in the region.

This project provides a resource center for a home where women who have experienced sexual exploitation can learn to heal from their experiences and dream of tomorrow.

The Rain Collective is working to create a comprehensive repatriation program. There are seven stages to the types of repatriation work we do. These seven stages are outreach, negotiation, emotional support, practical support, aftercare support, reintegration support, and assessments that ensure long-term thriving.

We are developing a 10-year longitudinal study that will allow us to hear the voices of survivors. Farasha is the Arabic word for “butterfly” and this research aims to replicate and scale the Butterfly Project research that was ground breaking in Cambodia.

We our currently developing a tool that can be used broadly to screen populations for trafficking. This tool is based on the organization’s technical expertise in working with trafficked populations around the world, and knowledge of best practices in survivor-informed, and trauma-informed practices.

Migrants to the Gulf states are often placed into jobs that are exploitative. This exploitation is facilitated through language and culture barriers, bad recruiting practices, and lack of easy reporting mechanisms that allow migrants to identify and remedy exploitation.
