Human trafficking is the third largest and fastest-growing criminal industry, impacting more than 40.3 million victims worldwide, with annual profits exceeding $150 billion. Traffickers purposefully target the most vulnerable populations.

WIllow's aftercare program empowers each survivor to heal from trauma, be free from re-victimization, be reconciled with family/community relationships, and eventually reintegrated back into the community or with relatives who will provide ongoing support. Survivors are given all the tools and support necessary to learn a vocation, start a business, or continue with schooling in order to re-enter society as fully-engaged and empowered members. Rehabilitating and restoring the lives of survivors is critical in anti-slavery strategies and has a ripple effect in the community – ending cycles of abuse, poverty, and exploitation. Willow has since re-branded to Everfree Org.

Uganda, the Philippines, and (very soon!) Belize— EverFree works to empower and support women and girls internationally

Merry Christmas!!! Today survivors celebrated in our homes with gifts, games, cake, and Christmas movies. A huge thank you to our staff for making this day so special for those in our care!
