Freedom Rising: Breaking Chains, Building Futures
At Freedom Rising, we believe that human trafficking is one of the greatest evils of our time—and far too massive and complex to fight alone. That’s why we’ve built our entire model around collaboration and the proven framework known as the Four P’s: Protection, Prosecution, Prevention, and Partnerships.
We focus on Protection by providing safe housing, trauma-informed care, and education to those most at risk or already victimized. We support Prosecution by working with legal systems and advocacy groups to hold traffickers accountable and seek justice for survivors. We prioritize Prevention by addressing root causes like poverty, lack of education, and social stigma—empowering vulnerable communities before exploitation begins. And most importantly, we believe in the power of Partnerships—uniting with local organizations, global nonprofits, governments, and faith communities to multiply our impact.
No one organization can do it all—but together, we can.
Our Story
Freedom Rising was born out of a deep conviction that no woman or child should ever be trapped in exploitation simply because they were born into poverty or injustice. Our founder witnessed firsthand the heartbreaking reality of children growing up in one of the largest brothel communities in the world—Daulatdia, Bangladesh—where hope was scarce and exploitation was a daily reality. When a key program supporting these children lost its funding, Freedom Rising was launched to ensure the mission would not only survive but grow. What began as an urgent response has become a global vision to fight human trafficking through holistic care, sustainable programs, and collaborative action. From safe homes and schools to vocational training and legal advocacy, every step we take is guided by compassion, justice, and the belief that freedom should never be a privilege—it should be a right.
