This Giving Tuesday, Help Freedom Charity Save Lives
What is Giving Tuesday?
Giving Tuesday is a global day of giving that takes place every year after Black Friday and Cyber Monday. It’s a time to focus on generosity and making a difference. Unlike shopping days that prioritise buying, Giving Tuesday is all about giving back to communities and causes that matter.
For Freedom Charity, this day is an opportunity to raise the critical funds we need to protect women and girls in the UK from forced marriage, female genital mutilation (FGM), and dishonour-based abuse. These hidden crimes destroy lives, but your generosity can help stop them.
How Does Freedom Charity Save Lives?
Freedom Charity works tirelessly to protect women and girls from abuse, offering help when it’s needed most. Your donation helps fund these vital services:
- Helpline Support
Our confidential helpline is available 24/7 to provide advice, support, and a way out for those in danger. Trained advisors guide women and girls to safety and help them rebuild their lives. - Educational Resources
Our books, But It’s Not Fair and Cut Flowers, are part of the national curriculum. These resources educate young people about forced marriage and FGM, helping them recognise and challenge harmful practices. - Workshops and Training
We deliver workshops in schools and train frontline professionals like teachers and social workers. These sessions equip communities with the tools to prevent abuse and support those at risk. - Emergency Rescue
We intervene to rescue those in immediate danger in collaboration with police and social services. Survivors are provided with safe accommodation and ongoing support.
- Advocacy and Legal Reform
Freedom Charity has campaigned for changes to UK law, including making forced marriage a criminal offence and banning virginity testing. Your support helps us continue this vital advocacy.

Your donation could save a life. Here’s how your generosity makes an impact:
- £10 provides educational materials like But It’s Not Fair to Schools, empowering students to stand against forced marriage and FGM.
- £25 supports a helpline call, offering immediate assistance to someone in crisis.
- £50 funds a school workshop, teaching young people about their rights and how to seek help.
