Our mission

Free Generation International (FGI) is an abolitionist organization committed to youth-centered and youth-focused interventions. Our mission is to prevent trafficking through rights-based education, social and economic entrepreneurship (such as workforce development), and access to justice initiatives.

Free Generation International is a U.S. registered 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization.

Our Vision

Our name- Free Generation International– speaks to what we strive toward. Through youth engagement and community partnerships, we can work together toward a world free of all forms of human trafficking and slavery-like practices. By equipping our youth to advocate for their rights and protections, and through initiatives, like workforce development coupled with rights-based education, we address the root causes of trafficking and produce alternatives for youth who would otherwise be vulnerable.

Understand What We Do

Our work includes:

  • The creation and implementation of trafficking prevention strategies to improve the skills and living conditions of girls in order to reduce their vulnerability to traffickers- including workforce development, specifically through the Free Generation Academy for Girls, located in the Greater Accra area.
  • The mobilization of a Pan-African youth movement against trafficking in persons. Among these projects is a curriculum on trafficking.
  • Access to Justice resources to aid in the prosecution of trafficking cases involving Africans, including pertinent international, regional, and national legal documents.
  • The development of innovative and culturally relevant resources for sensitizing the African public about human trafficking in African contexts.
