Time is running out to register for our 2024 conference in Salt Lake City!

Each year, FNUSA opens applications to organizations and advocates in the anti-human trafficking field. For 2024, we are thrilled to welcome 13 new members to our network. These incredible organizations and advocates join us from 9 states across the U.S. and bring our total coalition to 104 members. View our full member list on our website to learn more. Welcome to Freedom Network USA!
The process of creating this framework started three years ago. FNUSA and several members submitted feedback on the draft framework.
Although there is more work to be done in order to get the federal government to focus on primary prevention, the report features a great framework for cross-sector prevention efforts.
To support integrating human trafficking prevention into existing violence prevention efforts, rather than creating less effective trafficking-specific efforts
To include consent and workers' rights education in prevention measures for children
To work with and fund community-based organizations
To include strong confidentiality protections whenever survivor's data is collected or shared
Recently, a harmful bill (HR2601) was introduced that would require the hotline to report tips to law enforcement without survivors' consent. Survivors should have full agency in their healing process, especially in deciding if or when they want to report their case to law enforcement. It is urgent that we prevent this requirement from becoming law.Â
FNUSA and others advocating against HR2601 were able to prevent the bill from moving forward in 2023, but it could still be voted on in 2024. So far, our community has sent almost 600 letters to their Representatives urging them to vote "No" on the bill.
Every person who supports FNUSA and the survivors we serve is helping to build a transformative approach to human trafficking. We're so grateful for your support!
