✔︎ Restorative Counseling and Community
✔︎ Training and Employment Placement
✔︎ Freedom From Exploitation
Without a path to freedom, women experience:
- Constant exploitation, both sexually and financially
- A lack of access to non-exploitative work
- Forced separation from their loved-ones
- An unrelenting and undeserving cycle of shame
Empower Freedom from Exploitation
Provide Resources
Providing practical resources, a variety of education and employment training helps remove barriers to freedom.
Restore Dignity
Restoration happens through trauma-informed counseling and community reintegration, enabling a a holistic pathway to freedom.
Change a Destiny
Our program offerings ultimately work together to enable women to go from trapped to free and live a life filled with hope.
We understand the challenges faced by women exploited in the darkest corners of our world.
Over our more than 15 years of work, we've helped 5,000+ women experience freedom from exploitation.
"I feel I have value now. I won't be pulled back into a bad life because I have value now."
Tansanee* was once exploited in the sex industry. Today, she is a small business owner back in her home village. Through the support of our Korat Freedom Center in Thailand she receives business mentoring and helps with our prevention programs.
"I'm so glad I met you. It's hard to find people who will give me an opportunity like this."
Som's* family told her she was too stupid to learn and had her drop out of school. With so little resources she was coerced into the sex industry to survive. Today she is one of the brightest students at our Pattaya Freedom Center in Thailand.
"I feel at peace and warm when I come to this center. I never want to leave here."
Yasmine* had recently fled Morocco to get away from her exploitative husband. She was trying to recover from abuse but had no resources and no one to turn to for help, until she walked through our Algeciras Freedom Center doors in Spain.
