The Exodus Road Inc

Globally, The Exodus Road's work includes prevention, intervention, and restoration from human trafficking. The Exodus Road's work includes three primary programs:

Search + Rescue: The Exodus Road partners with law enforcement to find and free those affected by human trafficking in South and SE Asia and Latin America. Search + Rescue teams include social workers who help coordinate care for survivors.

Freedom Home: An aftercare and reintegration program in Thailand that empowers survivors of human trafficking to live healthy, independent lives, with the ability to provide for themselves and their families.

TraffickWatch Academy: The Exodus Road equips communities through free, tailored training and resources in the U.S. and Brazil. The U.S. training is focused on educating the general public. The Brazil program is tailored to train law enforcement officers and judges to identify, prevent, and combat human trafficking through a survivor-informed approach.

Search + Rescue:
The Exodus Road's (TER) Search + Rescue teams are made up of local, national investigators in each country of operation, who specialize in collecting evidence of human trafficking. TER's Search + Rescue teams provide this evidence to partner law enforcement agencies, and then support police in planning and executing a raid to free the victims and arrest the traffickers. TER also partners with other NGOs and government agencies in each area to locate victims, coordinate care for survivors, and achieve sustainable impact. TER's teams include social workers who assist survivors in their journey to recovery and reintegration.

Survivor Care:
Freedom Home incorporates a culturally relevant, trauma-informed approach to providing individualized reintegration options for female survivors of human trafficking in Thailand. Survivors have the option to enroll in Freedom Home through referrals made by law enforcement, partner NGOs, and TER's own operations. The program offers short and long-term care options to meet survivors' unique needs. Freedom Home provides shelter, basic care, medical care, counseling and trauma-therapy, life skills classes, legal support, in-depth educational/vocational training programs for job readiness, follow-up support, and reintegration support.

TraffickWatch Academy:
TER has Memorandums of Understanding signed with law enforcement and government agencies across four states in Brazil. The training includes eight online modules customized and created through a robust learning management system. The training leverages international Subject Matter Experts in intervention, prevention, aftercare, legal advocacy, and survivor-focused care. Online modules are supplemented with in-person training.

The Exodus Road (TER) draws its expertise from a decade of field experience in combatting human trafficking with best practices. TER has established strong leadership structures and equally strong partnerships, both programmatic and financial, to encourage collaboration, a thriving culture, and to continuously improve in this work.

TER's global staff members stem from diverse backgrounds and are experts in investigating human trafficking and providing trauma-informed care to survivors.

The Exodus Road has empowered the rescue of more than 1,500 survivors of human trafficking and the arrest of more than 800 traffickers and offenders since beginning this work. TER adds to its impact on a monthly basis.

The Exodus Road launched Freedom Home for the first time at the end of 2021 and has enrolled several clients, who are each making progress toward their individual goals.

TraffickWatch Academy U.S. is available for free and can be accessed through TER's website. TraffickWatch Academy Brazil is being released this year according to individualized implementation plans established by each agency. At least 4,000 Brazil officials will complete the training in 2022, with 20,000 officials to complete it over the following two years.
