PRESENTING…The FREEDOM NOW Global Art Exchange & Exhibit!


Guria is orchestrating a worldwide day of art and awareness on March 18th with hundreds of students around the world, from schools in countries including Indonesia, Brazil, China, Japan, Peru, Angola, South Africa, Switzerland, Montenegro, the United States, and India!


JOIN US! So many of us would love to help fight human trafficking but DON’T KNOW HOW…Here’s an easy, fun, and MEANINGFUL way to get involved!

Participation for a school is simple:
1) Educate students about human trafficking
2) Create art about human trafficking
3) Exchange art with other students on Guria’s exchange website
4) Put on a student art exhibit in their respective community that contains a mix of student art from all over the world!

March 18th—A GLOBAL PHENOMENON! Guria intern Chase Hommeyer was recently featured on CNN’s homepage, and she is working with other CNN featurees to coordinate this project. Furthermore, participating students in this event have the chance to have their art displayed for LITERALLY MILLION OF PEOPLE: The International Human Trafficking Institute (a division of the National Center for Civil and Human Rights) has committed to using some of our students’ art in a huge exhibit they’re organizing in the Atlanta Airport—the BUSIEST AIRPORT IN THE WORLD!

Guria Swayam Sevi Sansthan is a non-profit organization dedicated to fighting human trafficking and forced prostitution in Northern India. Based in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, we respond to immediate suffering and investigate the root causes of prostitution, poverty and inequality. We believe in a multi-faceted approach to fighting this deeply entrenched problem. We are involved in legal aid and intervention, victim rescue and rehabilitation, NFE (non-formal education) centers in the red light areas of Varanasi and Mau, a boat school on the Ganges River, police sensitization programmes, rural womens’ empowerment, activism and research. We strongly believe that through grassroots and prevention work, it is possible to end this modern form of slavery.

On February 20, 2018, Guria hosted it’s fourth annual Worldwide FREEDOM NOW Art Exchange and Exhibit. The exhibit at the Varanasi red-light area education center was a success! To date, we have had 86 schools from 15 different countries take part in Guria’s Freedom Now art campaign, and more schools using curriculum resources in their classrooms! Thank you for all those involved. If you would still like to be a part of the ongoing exchange, visit  http://freedomnowcampaign.org/howtoparti.html  for guidelines on participation. We have decided to put forward a second date, April 12, for schools who couldn’t meet the February 20 deadline to create art and host exhibitions. # humantrafficking   # slavery   # freedomnow   # Guria   # sextrafficking # sexslavery   # childprostitution   # commercialsexualexploitation   # rape # rescue   # varanasi
