Our Story
Hear from our CEO and Founder, Rochelle Keyhan, about why she developed Collective Liberty.
Why focus on intelligence?
01
Agencies lack experience.
Human trafficking has been illegal nationwide for less than a decade. Inconsistent enforcement in this emerging crime area leaves traffickers unchecked and victims without justice.
02
Technology accelerates crimes.
Technology is worsening the problem, dramatically increasing the exploitation of vulnerable people. We need modern solutions to fight modern problems.
03
Fragmented data hurts investigation.
Agencies often work in silos, leading to missed opportunities in identifying larger trafficking patterns and networks.
Our vision
We work closely with government agencies to reform systems and improve public policy, ensuring that our community supports survivors while stopping traffickers.
We are an Award-Winning Organization
