Freedom!Philippines

About

The Philippines is a beautiful country in Asia with over 7,600 islands and a population of 100,000 million people. Sadly though an estimated 748,000 men, women and children are victims of human trafficking in the Philippines, according to the Global Slavery Index 2018, and unfortunately this number in actuality is probably much higher.

60,000 to 100,000 of these are children involved in prostitution rings. With 80% of Filipino children being at risk of online sexual abuse, the country has been dubbed as “the global epicenter of the live-stream sexual abuse trade” by the United Nations Children’s Fund.

Fueled by poverty and conflict, the Philippines continues to be vulnerable to these attacks.

Freedom!Philippines aims to spread the message of human trafficking awareness. The campaign purposes to stand up and be a voice for the vulnerable and helpless. Through these initiatives, we empower the Filipinos to combat this atrocity with knowledge and reporting.

Day Camps for Children

Spreading fun and positivity for all children, our Day Camps have been home to thousands of children all over the country. The Conquest Day Camp is designed to provide children with knowledge and deep understanding of their self-worth so that they can confidently protect themselves from any form of abuse including child/human trafficking.

It comes with interactive games, informative sessions, team-building activities and powerful lessons. We make sure that kids have a fantastic time, make new friends but at the same time learn life-long lessons that will keep them safe from dangers

Awareness Session

Freedom!Philippines brings the discussion to both the local level such as community halls, schools, and universities, as well as to the regional and national level. We believe that children, youth, and adults need to be educated on the realities of human trafficking. In our awareness sessions we give powerful, detailed information about trafficking and ways for each individual to not only take action as an advocate, but also how to be safe from becoming a victim.

Dance and Drama

Telling the stories of injustice through movements and sound, our creative dance and drama presentations depict the horrible experiences of people caught in the traps and deceptions of traffickers. This venue provides an engaging and entertaining way for all ages and all educational backgrounds to be educated on this extremely important issue.

Radio Broadcast

OFWs (Overseas Filipino Workers). For many, this is a wonderful way to earn money and support their family back in the Philippines. However, for a large majority this situation is highly risky and puts them in vulnerable positions of abuse, exploitation, and trafficking.

Our Usapang OFW Help Desk is Global Impact’s weekly radio program that airs every Tuesday from 11:00 AM – 12: 00 NN through 1197 DXFE. It serves overseas Filipino workers and their families and educates the greater public about the dangers of human trafficking, illegal recruitment, and exploitation.

Awareness Trainings

Global Impact has written its own curriculum to train facilitators to give educational presentations on Human Trafficking.

Our human trafficking awareness trainings (HTAs) allow any person from any walk of life to share the advocacy. It includes the fundamentals of human trafficking in the global and the Philippine context, laws and institutions governing the issue and in-depth discussion on the reasons why trafficking pervades in the Philippines and the world. The art of public speaking, engaging the audience and facilitating a learning experience are all part of the training. Each training requires approximately 24 hours of lecture and application time. Trainings are held at Global Impact, Davao City as well as across the country in a host organization. Soon we will launch an online training as well.

Events

The Freedom!Philippines Campaign participates in local and regional events such as parades, city celebrations, mall exhibitions and other various activities.

Capacity Training

We train members of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP), Philippines National Police (PNP), various task forces, and medical institutions on the basics of human trafficking and ways to identify a possible trafficked victim.

Disaster Relief

Both man-made and weather-related disasters put populations in very vulnerable situations. Appallingly, traffickers exploit these situations so Freedom!Philippines aims to be a first responder in these situations to not only help with natural needs but to bring vital information to the people so they are not deceived by the lies of traffickers.
