Araminta Freedom Initiative

ARAMINTA FREEDOM INITIATIVE REDUCES THE THREAT OF CHILD TRAFFICKING - THE BUYING AND SELLING OF MINORS FOR THE PURPOSE OF SEXUAL EXPLOITATION - AND RESTORES THE MIND, BODY AND SPIRIT OF THOSE WHO HAVE SURVIVED THE TRAUMA OF MODERN ENSLAVEMENT. WE DEVELOP AND IMPLEMENT EDUCATIONAL INITIATIVES AND LOCAL PREVENTION PLANS WITH CHURCHES, SCHOOLS AND COMMUNITIES, WHILE PROVIDING INDIVIDUALIZED, RESTORATIVE SERVICES TO VICTIMS OF CHILD TRAFFICKING USING TRAUMA-INFORMED, EVIDENCE-BASED MODELS. WE TAKE BOTH OUR NAME AND INSPIRATION FROM HARRIET TUBMAN, THE AMERICAN ABOLITIONIST AND POLITICAL ACTIVIST WHOSE BIRTH NAME WAS ARAMINTA. BORN ENSLAVED IN MARYLAND, TUBMAN NOT ONLY LED SCORES OF FAMILY MEMBERS AND OTHER SLAVES TO FREEDOM AS A CONDUCTOR OF THE UNDERGROUND RAILROAD, SHE HELPED THEM GAIN EDUCATION AND FIND WORK IN ORDER TO BUILD NEW AND BETTER LIVES FOR THEMSELVES.
