Today is the day, it's World Day Against Trafficking! People from around the world are spreading awareness about the horrific crime of human trafficking.
Why does it matter?
Human trafficking is a violation of an individual's basic rights and personal freedom.
How is FNUSA different?
We support survivors to overcome systems.
Too many survivors have to deal with the long-term impacts of convictions connected to their trafficking situation. Most states in the US have a law that allows human trafficking survivors to clear these records. When survivors have resources to navigate these laws, it can immediately increase opportunities for safe and stable housing and jobs that pay a livable wage.
The Survivor Reentry Project (SRP) is the only national program that provides criminal record relief for human trafficking survivors by connecting them to a nationwide network of pro bono attorneys. The SRP team served 140 survivors and provided technical assistance to 180 professionals who were working on these cases in 2023. FNUSA partners with law firms, providing them with training in trauma-informed lawyering and the legal issues presented, the firms then provide pro bono representation to survivors. This partnership multiplies our impact, SRP provided over $1,000,000 worth of free legal services in 2023.
Your support makes it possible for Freedom Network USA to continue to have a big impact on survivors of human trafficking.
We need your support, we ask that you join us in the fight!
