About Us

Founded in 1996 by Vednita Carter, Breaking Free is a non-profit centered on social justice. We forefront a movement of freedom for victims of commercial sexual exploitation, releasing them into a life of safety, restoration, dignity, and strength. 

Every year, Breaking Free helps hundreds of women escape systems of sex trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation. More than an organization facing an issue, Breaking Free empowers survivors of sex trafficking to build new lives through safe housing, direct services, effective healing programs, advocacy, worldwide policy change, and hope. 

Breaking Free’s own diversity helps to intentionally provide additional support to serve women of color who are disproportionately represented in demographics of the trafficked population.

Lori Quist, ED of Breaking Free, brings momentum and innovative strides that result in real change for those affected by sex trafficking. Breaking Free supports partial decriminalization. To get more information about this topic click the link below.
