A 30-DAY CHALLENGE FOR
ANTI-TRAFFICKING ADVOCATES
JOINING THE FREEDOM SUMMIT IS EASY
Freedom Summit is a 30-day fundraising challenge beginning on July 1 and ending on July 30, the World Day Against Trafficking in Persons.
Freedom Summit participants are encouraged to leverage their network to fundraise in support of The Exodus Road while they participate in a physical or mental challenge to raise awareness of the issue of human trafficking.
WHY DO WE CALL IT FREEDOM SUMMIT?
THERE ARE MORE PEOPLE TRAPPED IN SLAVERY TODAY THAN AT ANY OTHER POINT IN HUMAN HISTORY.
43% of human trafficking victims are in forced labor.
13% of human trafficking victims are being exploited in the commercial sex trade.
44% of human trafficking victims are in forced marriage.
STEP ONE
Choose to disrupt human trafficking in our world.
Choose the physical or mental challenge you will complete in July and set up your campaign (it only takes 1 minute!). Just like that, you’ll be ready to start raising money to fuel investigations, rescue operations, and aftercare for those caught in trafficking.

STEP TWO
Spread the word about your fundraiser.
Once your campaign is set up, tell everyone about it. The more people you tell, the quicker you’ll reach your goal.
Make sure to use #freedomsummit2023 on your social posts and tag @theexodusroad so we can help you spread the word!
STEP THREE
Celebrate your effort and impact!
After your challenge and campaign is over, it’s time to celebrate! We’ll get to work using your funds to rescue and care for survivors, arrest traffickers, and train communities to protect those vulnerable from ever being trafficked in the first place.
When you’ve met your goal, we’ll also send you an image you can share with your supporters, thanking them for the incredible way they rallied behind your efforts for freedom!
We can’t wait to see the creative way you participate!
