3 Phases to Freedom

Garden Gate Ranch has a dream that someday all women will be free from exploitation, violence, and abuse. We have a dream of a community coming together to support her every step of the way —not fear her or ignore her.

​Human Trafficking Defined

The official definitions of the U.S. Government:
  • Sex trafficking in which a commercial sex act is induced by force, fraud, or coercion, or in which the person induced to perform such act has not attained 18 years of age.
  • The recruitment, harboring, transportation, provision, or obtaining of a person for labor or services, through the use of force, fraud, or coercion for the purpose of subjection to involuntary servitude, peonage, debt bondage, or slavery. This modern slave trade is a threat to all nations. A grave human rights abuse, it promotes the breakdown of families and communities, fuels organized crime, deprives countries of human capital, undermines public health, creates opportunities for extortion and subversion among government officials, and imposes large economic costs.
