Selah Freedom is a national organization with the mission to end sex trafficking and bring freedom to the exploited through four strong programs: Awareness, Prevention, Outreach and Residential. Selah is a Hebrew word which means to pause, rest, and reflect and survivors are given a chance to do just that. Women in our programs have an opportunity to dream again and to discover who it is they were created to be.

Selah Freedom employs a victim-centered, trauma-informed approach to anti-human trafficking efforts through a variety of direct and referral services.
