THE

FREEMAN PROJECT

Barbara Freeman (seen on the left) founded the The Freeman Project to house women in transition as a step over from local rehabilitation and correction facilities where they are provided a continuum of care and the opportunity to build trusting relationships that last while working on a clean and sober lifestyle. 

As a survivor of trafficking herself, Barbara now dedicates her time to both running the The Freeman Project out of Columbus, OH and sharing her story as a motivational speaker.

CATCH Court is a diversion program for victims of human trafficking. "The model has roots in Columbus, Ohio, where a judge decided to direct women toward rehabilitation instead of jail.

He was seeing lots of women who were abused and forced into sex work, but they were being treated like criminals..."

SURVIVOR'S INK

Survivor's Ink exists to empower human trafficking survivors by breaking the psychological chains of enslavement through beautifying, removing, or covering their physical scars, markings, and brandings, which are constant reminders of a violent past. In addition, we strive to be a reliable resource connection to direct services for victims and survivors in order to help them rebuild their lives.
