LOTUS is a nonprofit law firm whose mission is to empower survivors of sexual violence and human trafficking (both sex and labor) by providing no-cost comprehensive legal services through its Legal Services Department as well as its own trauma-informed, humanities-based educational programming through its Survivor Empowerment Department.
Valuing a wholistic approach to survivor empowerment, LOTUS has developed two sister art education programs, Untold Stories and Rise & Thrive, that aim to engage, empower, and heal survivors through the practice of literary art (poetry and creative non-fiction) and through unique collaborations with local artists working in the community.
