2. Understanding and owning the impacts that selling and buying human beings has on the victims, on yourself, on your intimate partners, on your children and their children, and on your community.
3. Developing individual and group agreements toward being the person, father, partner, and man that you most want to be.
4. Developing and demonstrating new skills and commitments to help you better recognize and respond to stressful and challenging situations and relationships, without the use of physical, verbal, sexual, or psychological violence.

Overall, the goal for Men Breaking Free is to break the demand side of the tragedy of sex trafficking and sexual exploitation by ensuring that participating men leave workshops with a better understanding of what brought them to this place in life, and with clear strategies to help them to avoid making similar mistakes in the future.
