Empower People's Rehabilitation Programme prioritizes survivors' security encompassing social, economic, and emotional dimensions. Economic stability is pursued through compensation advocacy and Government scheme linkage, while destigmatization efforts restore social security. Efforts encompass re-enrollment in education and participation in business activities. The in-community rehabilitation process integrates survivors into society while maintaining their identity, emphasizing assimilation mechanisms.

Developing a pleasant relationship ensures survivors' emotional support without hierarchy. It also emphasizes raising community awareness to foster social consciousness about trafficking and survivor needs, involving local leaders to sustain engagement.
