Fight for Girls

At this very moment, 78% of all identified sex trafficking victims are women and girls, totaling roughly 5 million trapped in sexual exploitation every day.* And those are just the ones who have been identified. Their girlhood is priceless, and right now, it’s on the line. Every person was made with inherent dignity and value, and their freedom from human trafficking is worth fighting for. 

Globally, human trafficking is the fastest-growing illegal enterprise, generating $236 billion in profit—that's more than Walmart, Visa, Amazon, and Google combined.* This second year of ‘Fight for Girls’ is our time to take a stand against that and is dedicated to every girl who deserves the opportunity to be in school, not in a brothel. It's for every girl who deserves to grow up in an environment of safety and love, not exploitation and abuse. Sex trafficking may make the world unsafe for women and girls, but together we can change that.

For over 13 years, we have led the fight against sex trafficking, reuniting families, and supporting survivors. We unite and resource over 100 frontline organizations worldwide for a powerful impact against trafficking through prevention, intervention, awareness, policy work, aftercare, outreach, and more. An average of 8 people are set free from human trafficking every 24 hours because of the Atlas Free Network and our generous community.

We fight for all people affected by sex trafficking every day. We believe everyone, including men and boys, was made for freedom and should be protected. The reality is that the majority of sex trafficking victims are women and children, but anyone can be a victim and survivor of trafficking. Many of the victims and survivors we support are men and boys. 

When you give, your gift supports Atlas Free's holistic and global strategy to create a world without exploitation, which impacts men, women, and children. We work in over 25 countries, including the United States, to bring rescue, safety, prevention, and restoration to people so that all can thrive in the freedom that God created them for. Every year, we undergo an independent financial audit, and voluntarily work with multiple charity accrediting agencies and consistently receive their highest levels of certification. Learn more about our financial transparency and how we steward your donations here.

Your involvement can be the difference between exploitation and freedom in the fight for girls' freedom around the world. One of the most powerful ways to make a difference is by giving a donation. Your contribution, no matter the size, carries immense impact. Your investment fights for girls by providing rescue to victims, protection and healing for survivors, and prevention for the vulnerable to stop human trafficking for good. 

Spreading awareness and sharing with your community about Atlas Free’s fight for girls on social media is another great way to make a difference. Don’t forget to tag @atlasfree! #FightforGirls

Sex trafficking is when someone uses force, lies, or intimidation to cause another person to perform a commercial sex act.

It is the practice of illegally transporting people from one country or area to another for the purpose of sexual exploitation. It is the act of profiting from the exploitation of men, women, and children through prostitution, pornography, public or private sexual exhibition, public or private exhibitions of a sexual nature, sex tourism, or any other paid sexual activity.

Globally, human trafficking is the fastest-growing illegal enterprise, generating $236 billion in profit—that's more than Walmart, Visa, Amazon, and Google combined.*

Yes, we have over 65 Atlas Free Network Members in the United States who intervene, prevent, advocate, and disrupt sex trafficking and exploitation, ultimately helping to create freedom for victims of sex trafficking. In places like New York, Washington State, Tennessee, Alabama, and more—Atlas Free Network Members are supporting survivors' journey to freedom and giving them tools for their restoration and healing. We are fighting online child exploitation in the United States, working with artificial intelligence experts, policymakers, and organizations, systematically taking traffickers offline and holding them accountable for their actions.

Sex trafficking happens in every country in every part of the world—no community is immune. Sex trafficking happens in homes, schools, legal and illegal brothels, illicit massage parlors, hotels, strip clubs, cantinas, escort services, street prostitution, online sex acts, pornography, and any other place where traffickers and buyers can think of.

In collaboration with a global network, we have built a holistic framework that addresses essential issues in four key areas to resource the fight against sex trafficking and exploitation. See how we work here.
