Every 20 seconds a child is sold into sexual exploitation. At the same time every second an estimated 10 children are victims of online sexual exploitation. From our global headquarters, we lead the fight against one of the world's fastest-growing criminal industries.
Join a global movement of individuals, entrepreneurs and changemakers.
Free a Girl is an international organisation dedicated to ending child sexual exploitation. From our global headquarters, we drive strategy, mobilise funding and support high-impact work worldwide — ensuring that children are rescued, perpetrators are prosecuted and survivors are supported in rebuilding their lives.
Child sexual exploitation is one of the fastest-growing and most profitable criminal industries in the world. Human trafficking generates an estimated $150 billion annually, of which nearly $100 billion comes from sexual exploitation alone.
Children are abused in brothels, hotels, private locations or through trafficking networks. Often hidden, harder to detect and controlled by organised criminal networks.
Grooming, live-streamed abuse and the global distribution of abusive images and videos. Children are targeted online, abused in real life, and further exploited through global circulation of content.
Every year, more than 300 million children are affected by online sexual exploitation and abuse. That is nearly 1 in 8 children worldwide.
This is not an isolated issue. It is a global, organised system — driven by demand, enabled by technology, and expanding rapidly. Every second, new material is shared, distributed or reported across global systems.
We identify victims through intelligence-led investigations and work closely with law enforcement and local partners to execute rescue operations. After rescue, children receive immediate protection, safe housing, medical care, psychological support and long-term guidance.
We support investigations, build evidence and work with authorities to arrest and prosecute perpetrators. Because without justice, exploitation continues. We support survivors through the legal process and work towards convictions and financial compensation.
We support survivors in rebuilding their lives through education, skills development and long-term opportunities. Our goal is to support the journey from victim to survivor to independent future.
Our work is intelligence-led and globally connected. We collaborate with law enforcement agencies, governments and trusted partners to identify victims, dismantle criminal networks and create lasting impact.
All partners are carefully screened on credibility, track record and safeguarding standards. We operate through structured monitoring and evaluation systems, ensuring continuous learning, accountability and data-driven decision making.
