Freedom Insight

That day was the day I stopped asking myself what I was good at, and I started to lean into what kept me up at night. Soon after, my co-founder and I started BAATC, now called Freedom Insight.

This is one story of many that have fueled our work at Freedom Insight over the past 15 years.

On May 29th in San Francisco, you’re invited to celebrate 15 years of impact on the top floor of the Salesforce Tower. As we take in the Bay Area from 1,000 feet up, we’re remembering our beginnings, where we’ve been, and we’re creating a vision for the future and our impact together.

Join us. We can’t wait to celebrate your impact as we work together to bring a pathway to freedom to vulnerable individuals in the communities where we work and live.

As we’ve wrapped up National Volunteer Month in April, we’ve been reminded of volunteers like Jessica. She didn’t wait for a miracle to see change. Jessica decided to show up in the fight against human trafficking in her own community.

Jessica joined our hotel outreach initiative before Super Bowl LX. She hit the ground in the Bay Area to ensure local hotels had the training materials and resources needed to comply with state laws and, more importantly, to protect the vulnerable.

Jessica’s story is a reminder that we can take action today. Every action matters, whether it’s through spreading awareness, outreach, or financial support.

We sat down with Jessica to talk about her experience and why she believes everyone has a role to play to fight human trafficking in their community.

Traffickers rely on hotels to move, work, and sleep their victims. But when staff are trained to recognize the signs and take action, we can disrupt their operations.

With proper training, hotel employees are a powerful force in shutting down the business of trafficking.

This is why we train hotel staff to identify human trafficking and report it effectively.

Don’t let your business be a blind spot. Partner with Freedom Insight today to transform your workplace into a frontline of protection.

1 in 4 trafficking victims are moved through hotels during their exploitation. Victims aren't being moved through back alleys; they are checking in right in front of us, hidden in plain sight.

According to a survivor survey conducted by :

80% of commercial s*x trafficking occurs at hotels,
69% of trafficked victims are moved through hotels during their exploitation, and
20% of traffickers house victims in hotels.

What do hotels/motels need to know about their role in combating human trafficking?

- Many states have laws requiring hotels and motels to train staff on human trafficking.
- Laws also exist that require hotels/motels to post public anti-trafficking notices.
- Hotels and motels are increasingly being sued under federal law for failing to take reasonable steps to prevent trafficking on their premises.

When hotel staff are trained to identify human trafficking and know how to report it effectively, the business of human trafficking can no longer prosper.
