THE MISSION
RAISING PUBLIC AWARENESS
Public understanding and awareness of the realities of sexual exploitation within Human Trafficking are paramount in helping victims. Our Safe houses are funded through awareness of the dolls, fund raising and donations. Helping the public understand that for every doll that is brought it helps the victims once more gain self-worth and gives them an opportunity to climb out of the hellish environment they are in. Awareness helps everyone to understand that Freedom Dolls are more than just a doll they represent an individual’s freedom.
WHAT WE OFFER
HOW WE HELP VICTIMS
Once a victim is rescued they are taken to a safe house where they stay for four weeks, during this period the local authorities assess wheather or not the victims have been trafficked.
Once the victims are told to leave the government safe house, they are left to fend for themselves. This is where the Freedom Houses come into effect while the victims are waiting for their court cases to be heard which can take up to three years. This depends on the efficacy of the countries legal assistance within the country the victim has been trafficked too. Our victims are helped by providing a safe, secure homely environment with structured care. Counseling, one to one care is very important, their mental health is one the important issue that need addressing. Providing classes to help them find an interest for example computers, cooking, gardening and of course sewing our freedom dolls, if they would like to sew. Whatever, they wish to do, we will work closely with them to build their confidence back up.
