Safety Symmetry 13.Bedroom Assessment Mental Thesis: Wellness CHRYSALIS Social Women all over the world are being held against their will and trafficked. The standard safe house holds women for 3 days before sending them to a secure undisclosed location. Women don’t feel safe enough to leave because they don’t feel the house is in fact safe. If women had a 30 day safe house they would feel more secure, resulting in less women trapped in human trafficking. Open Floor plan Physical 12.

[initial designs] Usually women who find themselves in this business are born into it, and have never known anything besides this their entire life. Chrysalis Safe House for women is about providing an outlet for women trapped in human trafficking. The more women that can be given a safe place to go and escape, the more women will be inspired to escape themselves. This, along with countless other organizations striving to help these women, will hopefully end this atrocity of modern day slavery. This building will encourage the girls to form a community within its walls, and learn to look to each other for support. It is important for this building to be accessible to the staff and people running it, but also be a place the girls can feel like is their own.

Adults (age 18 and over) induced into commercial sex through force, fraud, or coercion, and 3. Children and adults induced to perform labor or services through force, fraud, or coercion. 1.
