Amirah was founded in 2011 in response to the increased number of sex trafficking reports in Massachusetts and the low availability of services or resources for adults who are trafficked in the state. Originally conceived as an outreach services organization, Amirah began providing housing and residential recovery through group homes in 2014 and has since grown and transformed into a multi-pronged service organization today, providing mid-term housing through its Rapid Re-Housing program, economic mobility and stability planning, long-term housing navigation, comprehensive case management, peer care navigation, and community support. Amirah works in collaboration with state offices and peer service providers state-wide to coordinate comprehensive services for people trading sex, most of whom have experienced sex trafficking. Amirah’s Executive Director sits on the Governor’s Commission on Sexual Assault, Domestic Violence, and Human Trafficking’s Subcommittee on Human Trafficking. Amirah is also a member of the EMMA Coalition, a state-wide group of lived-experience-led agencies advocating for better policies and practices to support people who have experienced commercial sexual exploitation and prostitution.
