Julie Shrader

Julie Shrader is the founder and CEO of Innocence Freed, a new anti-trafficking NGO based in Nebraska. Julie has spent the last 12 years as the Founder and CEO of Rejuvenating Women, which has since been renamed Restored Wings. During these years, Julie has worked with thousands of trafficking survivors, families, and parents and has loved being an advocate. As Julie led Restored Wings, she was blessed to meet many incredible people who had been trafficked and to hear their stories. Julie had a vision in 2021 to start an on-site animal therapy residential program for trafficked children. In August of 2023, after 3 years of raising funds and searching for the right property, the children’s ranch was purchased by RW.

An expert on human trafficking, Dissociative Identity Disorder, Ritual Abuse, domestic violence, and complex trauma, Julie speaks all over the country about human trafficking while getting her new nonprofit off the ground providing aftercare for trafficked survivors which includes animal-assisted therapy.
