Our brand new partnership with Liberty Asia!


Earlier this year, we began exploring potential partnerships with organizations who had a similar vision to end trafficking, as well as the technological competencies related to Freedom Collaborative. We secured a partnership earlier this month with Liberty Asia in Hong Kong, an organization whose technical competency surpasses ours, to lead the FC platform not only in its current form but also to develop and enhance its future impact.

This partnership will allow Chab Dai to focus more on working with our partners on grassroots engagement and implementation for the Freedom Collaborative rollout, as well as capacity-building, referrals, coaching, networking and advocacy rather than directing our resources and energies to the technological aspect which was outgrowing our capacities.

Liberty Asia will add further services to the FC platform including a needs matching and collaboration system, legal advice and support, a secure evidence exchange system and a secure victim referral system.

This partnership is highly complementary to each organization's area of core competency. While Chab Dai has grassroots programming experience and works with NGOs, coalitions, public influencers and academia, Liberty Asia has other important partnerships which focus on different areas of the fight against exploitation and slavery that very much complement our work.

Any partnership brings changes. The main change resulting from this allian
ce is that the Freedom Registry will no longer be developed as national, stand-alone platforms, but will now form one global tool with access across all sectors internationally and with a language translation functionality. Input and engagement from national coordinators and steering committees is still crucial to the success of the International Freedom Registry in order for each country to engage critical national stakeholders, relevant research and resources in local languages, as well as cutting-edge country and program Freedom Dialogues, along with vetting of organizations and users where needed.

As an anti-trafficking movement we must be part of a broader community of learners – across all sectors – acknowledging that no one organization or sector can address this issue on their own. Freedom Collaborative will not only be a mapping and referral mechanism for service providers, a library of more than 2,000 resources in multiple languages or a platform for dialogues on critical and cutting-edge issues. The future means that not only can we work together to develop appropriate responses, but for the first ti
me we will be working together to formally identify patterns of exploitation and abuse, which will allow us to engage in cutting-edge technology to address demand issues of trafficking and engage new stakeholders in the process.

Addressing such complex and overwhelming issues as trafficking and slavery takes collaboration and partnership, which is what the platform was designed to facilitate and what we have done to bring in the next generation of Freedom Collaborative.
