In Myanmar, the Freedom Fund supports local civil society orgaisations to address the risk of extreme forms of exploitation and human trafficking across vulnerable communities in Kachin and northern Shan states, especially among women and girls.

The program is focusing on the following three objectives:

  1. To provide critical support services to survivors of extreme exploitation, including human trafficking, forced marriage/ force childbearing, domestic servitude, forced sex work, child labour and others.
  2. To support communities, families and individuals at risk of extreme exploitation to protect themselves and make informed decisions.
  3. To support the integration of anti-human trafficking/ extreme exploitation efforts into the humanitarian response
