Mission: Traffick Free is a faith-motivated organization that provides the greater metropolitan area of Chicago with tools and sustainable programs to combat human trafficking and transform the lives of survivors and communities.
Results: Our signature events have included the Freedom Forum and the 5K, which have engaged thousands of people across the Chicagoland area. With a strong social media presence, Traffick Free has educated our local followers and beyond on all forms of human trafficking. Traffick Free has partnered with and assisted direct-service organizations such as long-term residential facilities and case-management agencies. This networking has allowed us to meet emergency needs for survivors of both sex and labor trafficking. In addition, we have maximized our relationship with churches, schools, NGOs, and law enforcement to conduct specialized trainings. Partners have included the Cook County Human Trafficking Task Force; the Chicago Department of Labor; the Black Star Project; the YWCA; the South Loop Church; Northwestern University; and Loyola University.
