Project Futures is a volunteer-run Australian registered charity that connects people to the issue of abuse and sex trafficking of young women and girls. We raise vital funds for one of our key beneficiaries, the AFESIP Centre in Cambodia. This Centre rescues, rehabilitates, accommodates and educates young girls who have been victims of sexual abuse. The Centre has a unique model where 80% of the survivors work at the Centre to help other victims become survivors. Project Futures has raised over $8 million in funds since 2008 and has supported and provided hope to thousands of young women and girls over that time period.
What is modern slavery and Sex trafficking?
Modern slavery occurs when a person cannot refuse, or leave a situation because of physical threats, violence, psychological coercion, abuse of power or deception.
It refers to one person possessing or controlling another in such a way as to significantly deprive them of their personal freedom with the intention of exploiting that person for use, profit, transfer or disposal.
Sexual slavery is a type of modern slavery in which mostly women and girls are forced through fraud or coercion to perform commercial sex.
