Program areas at Free the Girls

By partnering with established organizations working with exploited and vulnerable people, we provide an opportunity for female sex trafficking survivors to reintigrate into their communities. We do this primarily through economic empowerment including business training as well as providing inventory and microfinancing as women set up their own microenterprises. In 2023, 20 women graduated from our program and we welcomed 40 more for our economic initiative. We also provided health courses and/or medical assistance to 325 Girls and women who have a history of sexual abuse and/or explotation. We also assisted with education for beneficiaries and their children in 15 cases
