We envision Aotearoa
New Zealand
free from
sexual exploitation.

Exploitation is everywhere, affecting everyone.

Let's change that.

Abuse and trafficking are happening within our borders, and you can help stop it. We are raising a voice to eliminate sexual exploitation and trafficking in Aotearoa New Zealand. You can help us. Learn more by exploring our website and contact us to get involved. 

What We Do

Why We Do It

We believe that all people have inherent dignity and deserve to live life to the fullness of their potential. Sexual exploitation of all kinds is devaluing, dehumanising and fosters a culture of inequality.

The sex trade harms those within it, the clients who partake of it, and the society surrounding it. A world in which someone can be bought and abused is a world we want to see changed.

Do you want to help?

We have three teams making a difference.

Support Team

 The Support Team support those who have been or are at risk of being exploited. This includes mental health support, job and housing advice, and supporting a safe house for women leaving the sex trade.

Campaign Team

The Campaign Team communicates through petitions, submissions, research, and conversations with authorities. The goal is to ensure that those who are exploited are legally and systematically supported.

Awareness Team

The Awareness Team raises the alarm about exploitation in Aotearoa New Zealand. We empower and equip people using media, training and advocacy. This shifts the narrative and initiates change.

About Freedom NZ

 We are an active community of people who are fighting the sex trade, family violence, pornography and all forms of sexual exploitation. We aren’t content to fight just one aspect — we want to see total freedom from sexual exploitation in our nation.

  Based in Tauranga, Freedom NZ is completely volunteer-led by individuals like you, who are passionate about the freedom of others. It was founded in 2011 to campaign against the decriminalisation of prostitution. 

If you’re being sexually exploited, or are at risk of being sexually exploited, we want to help you. Contact us directly, or click above to find resources specifically for your situation.
