The Fight Against Sex Trafficking and Exploitation

Every day, millions of people are bought and sold for sex. Human traffickers are exploiting more people now than at any other time in history. Since 2012, Atlas Free has been on a mission to help victims find freedom by partnering with local organizations and leaders to care for survivors and put sex trafficking out of business. With the help of our generous community, we're getting closer every day.

Atlas Free's Mission: 
Accelerate and resource the fight against sex trafficking and exploitation.

We're making progress.

The Atlas Free Network just doubled in size. That means more people getting the chance to step into freedom.
Check it out.

We exist to empower local leaders and initiatives so the fight against sex trafficking can be stronger and more connected than ever before so more people can find freedom.
Together, we're attacking trafficking from every angle:

Perpetrator Accountability
Bringing traffickers to justice
Survivor Care
Providing safe housing, trauma care, and pathways to healing

Like our partner in Uganda

An Atlas Free Network Member has created the first anti-sex trafficking facility in a remote region of Uganda, providing immediate safety and support for survivors. Recently, they doubled their capacity by building three new safe homes designed for healing and autonomy. These huts offer more than shelter—they offer hope and freedom.



Targeted Prevention
Preventing trafficking before it starts
Like our partner in Asia.

In parts of Asia, traffickers target impoverished families, using fraud and coercion to force girls—often under 14—into cross-border marriages. An Atlas Free Network Member is changing that. Last year, they launched a vocational training program in Southeast Asia, equipping young women with skills in baking and barista work. With stable jobs, they're avoiding exploitation, gaining marketable skills, and taking control over who they get to be.

Policy and Advocacy
Shaping policies that protect the vulnerable 

Like our partner in Ethiopia

In Ethiopia, advocacy efforts are focused on addressing gender-based violence, sex trafficking, sexual abuse, and other forms of exploitation. Key stakeholders from government, justice, education, and social sectors engage in dialogues to explore and challenge existing laws and policies, working together to create comprehensive solutions. This creates collaborative action plans that aim to strengthen protective measures and ensure a unified approach to safeguarding women and children from violence across the country.

Resourcing and accelerating the global fight for freedom requires a community. Local leaders need funding, training, resources, and support to scale their impact. Atlas Free meets those needs and aligns leaders in a strategic effort to stop traffickers, care for survivors, and influence policy.
