The Freedom Fund is a global fund with the sole aim of helping end forced labour and human trafficking. We are a catalyst in the global effort to end forced labour and human trafficking, working in the countries and sectors where it is most prevalent. Through our investments and support, we aim to shift power, so that frontline organisations and communities can shape and drive the change required to bring forced labour and human trafficking to an end. By partnering with survivors and those at risk of slavery as well as visionary investors, governments and anti-trafficking organisations, we bring together the knowledge, capital and will needed to dismantle the systems that allow slavery to exist and thrive.
The Freedom Fund is working with partners based in Dhaka city, Faridpur, Rajbari, Jamalpur, Barisal, Mymensingh, Comilla, Patuakhali, Sylhet, Jessore, Kushtia, Bagerhat, Satkhira, Madaripir and Khulna in Bangladesh to provide direct support to those most vulnerable to commercial sexual exploitation of children (CSEC) and to reduce the prevalence of CSEC in brothels and on the streets. Our partners are working to establish a protective network–including families, civil society organisations and government–to safeguard children from situations of sexual exploitation. The Freedom Fund supports these partners through funding and institutional strengthening to help ensure their sustainability and the impact of their interventions. The project, which focuses on internal CST, is funded by the US State Department’s office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons (JTIP).
