Do you know someone who has survived human trafficking? Do you know of an organization which has worked hard to eradicate human trafficking over the past year? Then nominate them for a 2010 Freedom Award. The Freedom Award was created by Free the Slaves to recognize and reward organizations and individuals who are working to eradicate human trafficking, forced labor and modern-day slavery.

The 2010 Freedom Awards winners will receive:

  • Honorary grants for strengthening of anti-slavery efforts and professional development

  • An opportunity to travel to the United States to meet other leaders and stakeholders in the movement

  • Possibilities for further support and partnerships for Laureates via the connections and relationships built during Freedom Awards events

You can make a nomination here. All nominations must be received by midnight GMT on November 2, 2009. Late nominations will not be considered for the 2010 awards.

The Freedom Award presents a wonderful opportunity for abolitionists working outside the U.S. to travel to the U.S. and receive support for their work. If you have connections with individuals or organizations working overseas, please consider making a nomination.
