Join us Monday, October 20, 2025 at 7:30 pm (ET) for our monthly Zoom Meet-Up.

Rebecca McDonald, founder and president of Women At Risk, International (WAR, Int’l), will be hosting this month’s Zoom.

At WAR, Int’l, the survivors we serve will always remain the heartbeat of our mission.

The Backbone of WAR, Int’l: Volunteers • Donors • Prayer Warriors

For the October Light Up Your World Zoom, we are shining a spotlight on the generosity that fuels our mission—our donors. Their gifts make rescue, restoration, and empowerment possible every single day. Join us to hear directly from one of our donors about why they give, how they see lives transformed through their support, and the powerful impact that generosity creates for at-risk women, men, and children. You’ll be inspired by their stories and encouraged by the reminder that together, we can make a lasting difference.

No longer do we have the luxury of deciding whether or not we need to know about human trafficking. Learn how to become a circle of protection around the loved ones in your life by coming to one of our Civilian First Responder (CFR) conferences. Here, you will learn what makes a community susceptible to trafficking, how to identify a victim, how to respond to and report suspicious activity, and more. Discover helpful tips, action plans, and ways to protect the innocent.

This highly sought-after conference brings the U.S. government, law enforcement officers, human trafficking survivors, and the president of Women At Risk, International into one room to educate communities on this dangerous crime.

Three Good Reasons to Host or Attend a CFR Event

1. You will learn to recognize the signs of trafficking in your community
2. You will learn healthy ways to respond to crisis situations
3. You will learn how to share this information with community members, of any age
