What is Movement for Freedom?

Movement for Freedom 2025 (#MFF2025) is a two-month movement challenge (April 1 – May 31) where individuals and teams move with purpose to support survivors, families, and communities impacted by human trafficking in Cebu, Philippines.

About

Our Story

Movement for Freedom was created in 2015 as a way for individuals and teams to give back to the life-changing work of My Refuge House through exercise and movement.

My Refuge House is a 501(c)(3) non-profit that restores survivors of online sexual exploitation of children (OSEC), commercial sexual exploitation (CSE), and abuse. My Refuge House is dedicated to providing the best comprehensive and therapeutic care so that each girl can stand on her own. We believe a loving and caring atmosphere is the foundation for any healing environment. There is a family-like environment between staff and girls that draws upon Filipino culture through family meetings, outings, and activities. Since 2008, we have provided long-term aftercare for over 40 survivors as they reclaim their lives. In 2015, we added another home to increase long-term capacity, created a transition program for our older girls, and began a community outreach program focused on prevention and advocacy.d began a community outreach program focused on prevention and advocacy.

who's moving

I grew up running with my dad, and now when I go see our girls, I get to laugh at myself trying to keep up with their zumba skills. It's a beautiful reminder of the power of movement as a form of empowerment.
