Freedom Network USA
Freedom Network USA (FNUSA) is a national alliance of experienced advocates working with survivors of human trafficking to ensure that trafficked persons have access to justice, safety, and opportunity. The network is comprised of legal and social service providers, researchers, advocacy organizations and expert consultants. Our perspective is derived from the geographic scope and diversity of expertise our members bring from working with survivors of trafficking in all forms of labor. FNUSA uses this expertise to engage in advocacy work nationwide, provide training and technical assistance, and increase the capacity of its members.
