The Faith For Freedom app is a practical information tool for faith leaders, clergy and their staff to help identify modern slavery and human trafficking and safeguard their communities.

It explains what modern slavery is, how to detect it, how to respond to people affected by it, and how and where to find help to address it.

We recognise that faith leaders see into the hearts of their communities and can play a vital role in protecting their congregations from harm.

How to help fight modern slavery

“The Faith For Freedom app is a trailblazer in the engagement of faith-based organisations in joint action against all forms of human trafficking, which is a crime against humanity.

“The app offers information which can assist faith leaders in engaging their congregations against these acts of modern slavery. The app has also made interfaith cooperation possible in a world where there is so much division. It is loaded with so many resources that the Africa Methodist Council introduced it to its members and invited Global Freedom Network to speak about it at the Council’s commemoration of the 2021 United Nations International Day for the Abolition of Slavery to raise awareness of the atrocities of modern slavery.

“Africa Methodist Council are willing to spread the app to our conferences especially among young people who are mostly affected by human trafficking and irregular migration. I personally use the app as a ready-made resource for speaking on the atrocities of human trafficking. Not only does it speak about the problem but links and resources to the solution are also part of the package. Thank you Global Freedom Network for all you are doing in God’s name for humanity.”

“This is to acknowledge the introduction of the Faith For Freedom app to His Eminence, The National Chief Imam of Ghana’s office.

“Developed by the Federation of Faith Leaders under the Global Freedom Network, the app launched on August 21, 2021. It serves as a vital tool for identifying and supporting victims of modern slavery. With both Universal and Ghana profiles, offering information in multiple languages including English and Twi, it aids in awareness creation and education.

The Office of The National Chief Imam finds the app highly effective, advocating for its use in mosques and Islamic centers nationwide. Equipping Imams with necessary skills has furthered its reach, particularly in urban areas. We extend heartfelt gratitude to the Global Freedom Network for this invaluable humanitarian contribution.”
