Free the Slaves awarded Sina Vann, a Somaly Mam Foundation Voices for Change program participant, with the prestigious Fredrick Douglass Award. The award is given to an individual who has survived a form of slavery and is now using his or her life in freedom to help others exercise the purpose of their lives. This award honors the tremendous resilience of the human spirit and emphasizes that many of the survivors of modern-day slavery go on to help others to freedom. The award was presented to Sina by Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher.

Sina received $10,000 for a program in training and capacity-building to help her continue and expand her work, and an additional $10,000 will be awarded to her over two years.
