Mission Statement
Amirah (ah-meer-ah) is a faith-based nonprofit organization located in the Boston area that strives “to provide a refuge for those seeking to break free from exploitation and heal in community on their journey toward lasting hope.” We do this by providing safe homes for those that want to break free from sexual exploitation, mobilizing the greater community to create opportunities for healing, restoration and reintegration. We use individualized approaches to address the physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, social and vocational needs of each survivor in our care and allow for survivors to engage with their community in a mutually meaningful manner. The name Amirah comes from the Arabic and Persian meaning “daughter of the king/princess” and “female leader.” It conveys a sense of strength, value, and nobility.
About This Cause
At Amirah, we offer every woman that comes into our home an individualized, trauma-informed, whole-person care approach to their program. This means that we treat every woman as an individual, recognizing that her needs may look different than other women in our home. Our program works through the six avenues of whole-person care, helping them to recover through their physical, mental, emotional, social, vocational and spiritual trauma. As our name implies and based on our faith, we believe each human life is sacred, created in God’s image, and therefore, worthy of love, mercy and justice. It is our goal that each woman served at Amirah will be restored and empowered with a sense of her inherent value and God-given strengths.
