- In Italy, the new Woman to Woman project will minister to and empower immigrant women likely to be trafficked into or through the country or working in prostitution.
- In Lebanon, the Maids in Lebanon ministry will provide care, advocacy, and freedom to foreign women brought into the country to be maids, and who are imprisoned as "illegals."
- In Sioux Falls, South Dakota, BE FREE Transformation Ministries will restore the community by addressing the issue of sexual exploitation in the US and transnationally.
