One of our first initiatives in Jordan is Free Kicks—a leadership and resilience program supporting girls in two vulnerable communities.

In Jerash Refugee Camp, where 85% of parents report depression and many children show signs of emotional abuse or hopelessness, Free Kicks offers a stabilizing space for confidence, mentorship, and healthy peer relationships. In the Northern Jordan Valley, where poverty, violence, and agricultural labor contribute to high dropout rates, the program provides belonging, character development, and emotional support.

By combining athletics, psychosocial care, and leadership training, Free Kicks becomes a protective factor—helping girls navigate adversity and grow into leaders who strengthen their communities.

Be a part of this moment and help change a girl’s future today.

1.7 million individuals are living in modern slavery across the Middle East and North Africa — and less than 0.5% are formally identified each year. But change is possible.

Rain Collective is expanding our work in Egypt and Jordan, bringing restoration, identification, and support directly to survivors.

May 1: Labor Day in the Middle East

Today, countries across the region — including Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, UAE, Egypt, and Bahrain — observe Labor Day. A day meant to honor workers and their rights.
But for far too many migrant domestic workers in this region, rights are still out of reach. At Rain Collective, we continue to receive case after case reporting:
🚩 Excessive work hours
🚩 No days off
🚩 Passports and IDs confiscated
🚩 No reporting mechanisms for wage theft
🚩 Mistreatment, violence, and abuse

This isn’t just labor exploitation — these patterns are the hallmarks of labor trafficking and human trafficking. When workers are controlled, isolated, and coerced through threats, document retention, and abuse, it’s trafficking.
Labor rights are anti-trafficking protections.
Ending the abuse of domestic workers is ending trafficking.

This Labor Day, we aspire to see policies reformed all acrross the Middle East and North Africa to:
✔️ Enforce protections for domestic workers
✔️ End passport confiscation practices
✔️ Create safe, accessible reporting systems
✔️ Dismantle exploitative sponsorship (Kafala) systems

Because every worker deserves safety, dignity, and freedom, and every case of trafficking starts where labor rights are denied.

Let it rain justice. 🌧️

Torn from freedom. Trapped behind bars. Noor, a survivor of human trafficking in North Africa, was falsely accused, exploited, and abused while in custody — punished instead of protected.

This week, after months of pain and weeks of negotiations, they are finally FREE and safely reunited with their loved ones abroad. But this story is not unique — too many survivors are criminalized instead of cared for.

It’s time to end this cycle. Survivors need protection, not punishment.

Yesterday at the United Nations Commission for the Status of Women, our founder and director, Dr. Jason Pope, was honored to moderate an impactful session entitled Beyond Beijing 1995: Revolutionizing the Modern Slavery Fight hosted by WEA and GFN.

Key Takeaways:
🔹 Helen Avadiar-Nimbalker explored the Beijing Declaration’s connection to identifying the 27 million trafficking victims still unseen.
🔹 Dr. Havilah Dharamraj shared a spiritual reflection on women and abuse. 
🔹 Commissioner Christine MacMillan highlighted why men matter in advancing women’s rights.
🔹 Sarah Scott Webb and Daniel Garnett shared critical case studies from Oceania and the Middle East.
🔹 Jennifer Tunehag cast a bold vision for the next 30 years of faith-driven advocacy.

We are grateful for these powerful insights from our speakers and engaging question-and-answer time as we work toward a future of freedom and justice.

Just wrapped up the Greater New Britain Technology & Human Trafficking Summit—an incredible day uniting community leaders, nonprofits, legal experts, law enforcement, survivors, and business professionals in the fight against human trafficking.

What We Covered:
•⁠ ⁠Understanding Trafficking: Distinctions between s*x trafficking and forced labor, plus how economic hardship, immigration status, and online exploitation increase vulnerability.
•⁠ ⁠Survivor Stories: Insights into the long-term impact of trafficking and the power of trauma-informed care, peer mentorship, and art therapy in healing.
•⁠ ⁠Business & Technology: How ethical supply chains, AI-driven tools, and cross-sector collaboration can help detect and prevent trafficking.
•⁠ ⁠Policy & Advocacy: Legislative solutions, corporate responsibility, and the need for community-wide involvement.
 
Key Takeaway: Ending human trafficking requires a unified effort—everyone from local advocates to global businesses has a role to play.

Looking Ahead: We’re excited to see growing momentum in policy reform, survivor support, and tech innovations that safeguard at-risk communities. Stay tuned for future summits and deeper dives into the critical work of prevention and advocacy.
