Contemporary artist Lise Ansley captures a bartering transaction between a trafficker and a victim—a moment just before exploitation, where our partner steps in to prevent human trafficking. Working along the Nepal-India border, the organization confronts traffickers who prey on the young, uneducated, naive, and vulnerable, luring them with false promises of “hope” and using deception to gain control, often maintained by threats and violence.
In a world where trafficked individuals endure violent oppression, a single glimmer of genuine hope can sustain the will to survive, even in horrific conditions. This hope grows as Freedom 58 Project and other advocates achieve real change: victims are freed, oppressors face prison, judges uphold justice for the marginalized, and corrupt law enforcement is exposed.
