What We Do
At Footprint to Freedom, we empower survivors of human trafficking and vulnerable communities to rebuild their lives and become leaders in the fight for justice. Our United for Freedom Strategy serves as our six major response areas.
Prevention
We raise awareness about human trafficking and its root causes through community outreach, school programs, social media campaigns, and kids' clubs, empowering communities againstexploitation.
Protection
We offer comprehensive support, including mental health services, vocational training, community integration, family unification, and cultural mediation, to help survivors reintegrate successfully into the society thereby reducing the risk of re-trafficking.
Empowerment
We equip survivors and vulnerable communities with the skills and opportunities to regain control of their lives and thrive. Through the African Survivor Leadership Academy and our Empowerment Centre, we provide training in survivor leadership, computer literacy, tailoring, and arts and crafts. We also mentor survivor leaders/ survivor-led organizations and support organizations combating human trafficking to enhance their impact.
Movement Building
We are building a strong network of survivor leaders and survivor-led organisations across Africa through our initiative the African Survivor Coalition . This initiative amplifies the voices of African survivors and equips them with the resources to lead the global fight against trafficking. We foster collaboration, solidarity, and cross-border cooperation by organising meetings, conferences, and forums.
Advocacy
We advocate for the rights and needs of victims and survivors, ensuring their inclusion in research and decision-making processes. By influencing policies and legislation on human trafficking, we promote human rights and amplify survivor voices in shaping impactful solutions.
Partnerships
We collaborate with academic and research institutions to gather data on trafficking trends, survivor experiences, and service gaps. We facilitate partnerships among NGOs, governments, and other stakeholders, bridging the gap between survivor-led organizations and key actors such as donors and funders to enhance collective impact.
