	Magdalene
	Founded in 1997 by Becca Stevens, Magdalene is a two-year residential program for women who have survived lives of violence, prostitution and addiction. Magdalene was founded not only to help a subculture of women, but also to help change the culture itself. We stand in solidarity with women who are recovering from abuse, addiction, and life on the streets, and who have paid dearly for a culture that still buys and sells women. Magdalene stands as a witness to the truth that in the end, love is more powerful than all the forces that drive women to the streets. Click here to learn more.
