Free To...

The " Free To..." exhibit created by Amnesty International @ UCLA is a demonstration protesting human trafficking and the human rights it oppresses. The purpose is to emphasize and celebrate all of the freedoms we enjoy today that victims of modern day slavery are unable to experience and to emphasize their horrible condition.


This year our focus is to raise awareness on Human Trafficking also known as Modern Day Slavery, a global phenomenon where victims are sexually exploited, forced into labor, and subjected to abuse. Human Trafficking is a critical issue that is not only an international problem but also one right here in the United States. The "Free To..." event helped Amnesty International @ UCLA connect with the student body and raise awareness.

YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
YOU HAVE A VOICE.
YOU HAVE HUMAN RIGHTS!.

-Amnesty International
