2026 FREEDOM

AWARDS

10 Years of Freedom in Action: Honoring Courage and Change in the Anti-Trafficking Movement

On Wednesday, June 3, 2026, PACT proudly celebrates the 10th Anniversary of the Freedom Awards — a decade of uplifting survivor leadership, honoring dedicated advocates, and advancing meaningful change to prevent and end the sexual exploitation and trafficking of children.

For ten years, the Freedom Awards have recognized individuals and partners whose courage has strengthened protections for children, elevated survivor voices, and shaped progress across the anti-trafficking movement. This special edition marks both a milestone and a moment to reflect on how far we’ve come, and the work that continues ahead.

Join us as we celebrate 10 Years of Freedom in Action!

EVENT DETAILS:

June 3, 6-9pm

Prince George Ballroom

15 E 27th St., New York, NY 10016
