Hosted by the Freedom Initiative, the UNBOUND Conference features human trafficking activists who aim to educate people on the comprehensive factors that contribute to human trafficking, to empower individuals to develop a personal response to slavery, and to mobilize them to action.
Who We Are
Our Story
Meet the Team
2009 Summary
The Freedom Initiative is a coalition of community activists, service providers, students, and social justice seekers in the Seattle area who have joined forces to combat human trafficking. This multifaceted and complex social issue demands an intricately strategic solution that can only be accomplished by the skillful collaboration of abilities, perspectives, and passions from a variety of individuals and organizations.
Thus, by bringing together community-based organizations, government agencies, educational institutions, and individuals who are active in the fight against modern day slavery, the Freedom Initiative team aims to educate people on the issue of Human Trafficking, to empower individuals to develop a personal response to slavery, and to mobilize them to action in the fight against it.
