The Emancipation Network (TEN) is an international organization that fights slavery with empowerment, 'slavery-proofing' survivors and high risk communities by giving them economic alternatives and education and using the Made By Survivors products to help build the abolition movement in the US.

We sell beautiful handicrafts made by survivors at 18 shelters around the world, and offer business development to help survivors and shelters build sustainable enterprises. 100% of profits from the sale of our products go back to anti-slavery efforts.

We also offer you a way to become involved in fighting human trafficking - helping survivors and educating your community about this human rights crisis.

Human Trafficking and Slavery - How You Can Fight It

Destiny - New Opportunities for Human Trafficking Survivors

Destiny Women at WorkOne of the biggest problems confronting shelters that care for former slaves is that survivors have no place to go after rescue and rehabilitation. They are often not welcome back in their own community. Typically they were trafficked at a young age (average 11-12yrs) and have never lived independently.

This past week, The Emancipation Network opened Destiny Productions at the Thomas Clayton Center in Calcutta, India, to address this challenge. Rescued survivors will now be able to work at the new production center, and support themselves independently for the first time in their lives. This is truly the last stop on these young womens' Underground Railroad journey.

We need support to build and maintain this program. Please visit www.tencharities.org if you are interested in making a tax-deductible donation. Click This to read what the survivors wrote about Destiny. To hear the human stories behind Destiny, please read and subscribe to Becky's Blog

Holly - Film about Human Trafficking

Holly- film about human trafficking
Shot on location in the notorious red light district of Phnom Penh, HOLLY is a harsh, yet poetic drama dedicated to raising awareness of the epidemic of child trafficking and the sex
slavery trade.

Filmmaker Guy Jacobsen was recently honored as a Hero in the US State Department Trafficking in Persons report, for his efforts to raise awareness through film, and for his Red Light Children Campaign, which calls for immediate action against child sexual exploitation.
