Atlas Free Network Surges to Combat Human Trafficking Worldwide
Atlas Free Network Expands Globally
Recently, the Atlas Free Network has made significant strides in the fight against human trafficking. The network has now grown from 42 to over 130 frontline organizations operating across 26 countries. This remarkable increase positions Atlas Free as one of the largest anti-trafficking networks in the world.
Empowering Local Leaders in the Fight
Atlas Free is at the forefront of empowering local leaders and initiatives. Their approach strengthens the battle against sex trafficking by creating a tightly integrated network. This strategic framework allows ground teams to confront human trafficking daily. Through collaboration, these leaders and organizations tackle trafficking from multiple angles, including perpetrator accountability, survivor care, targeted prevention, and policy advocacy.
Vision of Global Solutions
According to Jeremy Vallerand, CEO & President of Atlas Free, addressing human trafficking requires well-thought-out solutions that are both scalable and holistic. "No single organization can handle all aspects of dismantling exploitation, but a united global network can make a lasting impact. When more organizations join forces, we increase our ability to rescue people from trafficking, hold criminals accountable, and safeguard the most vulnerable individuals in society," he shared.
Growth Within the United States
While the expansion is global, a significant focus is on initiatives within the United States. Here, the Atlas Free Network has grown from just 10 members to over 85 dedicated organizations. These collaborators are engaging in critical efforts to remove illegal content and child exploitation from major adult websites. They are also employing cutting-edge technology to prevent transactions associated with sex trafficking and providing essential care for survivors.
Impact Statistics
The Atlas Free Network's efforts have had a profound impact:
- Since 2012, over 1.18 million lives have been positively impacted.
- There are currently 301 impactful programs running across 26 countries to combat human trafficking.
- In 2024 alone, 3,094 individuals were successfully separated from their traffickers.
Facilities and Resources for Survivors
As a further testament to its growing influence, the number of operational safe homes in the Atlas Free Network has tripled, increasing from 57 to 170 in 2024. Each safe home represents a sanctuary and a new beginning for survivors of trafficking.
- There are 170 safe homes globally, giving individuals a chance to rebuild their lives.
- 14,067 individuals are enrolled in aftercare programs aimed at restoring stability, healing, and recovery.
- Additionally, there are 700 beds available for children and 1,079 beds for adults seeking refuge from trafficking.
Real Stories of Recovery
One compelling story is that of Greta*, who faced dire circumstances resulting from sex trafficking. Alone and vulnerable, she was targeted by traffickers who exploited her situation. Once she managed to escape, Greta found that she needed more than just a way out; she required support to reclaim her life. Fortunately, she connected with an Atlas Free Network member who provided a safe environment for her recovery. Today, Greta enjoys a life filled with hope and safety, free from the shadows of her past. Many survivors like Greta have expressed gratitude for these safe havens, stating, "It's quiet here. I can finally think." In escaping the chaos of trafficking, they can envision a future filled with opportunities.
