About Us

Who We Are

Slavery Free World is a nonprofit organization dedicated to ending human trafficking and confronting all forms of exploitation. What began as a focused effort to raise awareness about modern-day slavery has evolved into a broader mission: to protect the vulnerable, empower communities, and expose the many ways exploitation manifests in today’s world.

A Mission That Grows With the Challenge

As the scope of trafficking has expanded, so has our work. Exploitation now reaches far beyond traditional definitions. It thrives online, in our neighborhoods, and across vulnerable populations.

We work to educate parents, teens, and educators on how to recognize the warning signs of:

Online grooming
Social media manipulation
Other forms of abuse that may not fit the legal definition of trafficking, but fall under the same dangerous umbrella

Collaboration Is Key

We proudly support and highlight the efforts of:

Law enforcement professionals
Nonprofit partners
Digital platforms like Meta

These allies are developing tools, safety protocols, and legislation to protect users and push for stronger accountability in the fight against exploitation.

Founded by a Frontline Advocate

Slavery Free World was founded by actress and human rights activist Marisol Nichols, who has spent years working undercover with law enforcement to help expose and dismantle trafficking operations.

Her firsthand experience and global advocacy have shaped the organization’s mission and dramatically expanded its impact.

Our Mission

To create a world where no child, woman, or man is exploited, manipulated, or sold through:

Advocacy
Education
Global collaboration

We are building a future that is truly slavery free.
