Our Story:When Rebecca Bender escaped a life of sex trafficking in 2007, her life goal was to sleep through the night without a nightmare. Little did she know that her world was about to change others. Now, less than a decade later, she has become a worldwide leader in the anti-trafficking movement. Talk about nightmares becoming dreams.The Rebecca Bender Initiative (RBI) was born out of Rebecca's personal story. A journey from brokenness to beauty, from hell to healing, from trauma to triumph.At the time of her escape, Rebecca didn't feel qualified to dream. Her pimp had silenced her voice during those six years and her criminal record was screaming that she had no hope. As a young, single mother, she decided to give the pieces of her broken heart to God, after all, what did she have to lose? For six years, with active healing and recovering, Rebecca watched God rebuild her life. She got a job, started college again and got married. Beauty from ashes… She finally understood what that meant.
