Knots of Freedom Bracelet

Together with women who have been freed from human trafficking, Eden creates precious jewellery that carries their story.

Be Light. Bring Hope. Share Love.

Eden's Knots of Freedom Bracelet is inspired by the knotted rope Tho Tho used to escape from captivity. The pendant is 2.4" x 1.4" and comes finished in natural or 18K gold-plated stainless steel. The rope chain is adjustable to fit your wrist.

When Yati escaped those who trafficked her and arrived at Eden, she slowly learned how to dream about her future again. However, she kept thinking about those who were still captive. Only 2% of victims ever get rescued... and so many more remained trapped in the darkness Yati had escaped. So she wrote a song of freedom and bravely took it back into the same kind of red light districts she ran from not so long ago. Alongside Eden's Outreach team, she sat in dark brothels with broken young women and shared how she had bravely escaped.

Stories like Yati’s inspired the escape of women like fourteen-year-old Li Fen, who was trafficked by a relative. Rather than excelling at the job she had been promised in the city, she was shivering on a brothel couch the day our Outreach team slipped her our phone number.

At fourteen, she created a diversion that allowed her to miraculously escape the darkness of the red light district and run into the light. At Eden, she got the trauma counselling she needed to safely return to her family and start a new life.

Eden’s programs are based in South-East Asia which is host to more than half of the global total of human trafficking victims.

In 2014 Eden began its programs in Myanmar, a nation that has been a hotbed for human trafficking for years. Political instability, natural disasters, and internal ethnic infighting have led to a devastating lack of opportunity for the people of Myanmar.

Poverty and political unrest are at the heart of Myanmar's human trafficking crisis, which has only grown more severe over recent years. The economic collapse, brought on by the pandemic and political crisis, has exacerbated the level of human trafficking and the need for non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and other not-for-profit organizations like Eden to fill this void and provide essential support to victims of human trafficking and sexual exploitation.

Through a relationship-focused and trauma-informed approach to programming, Eden is able to reach both individuals at high risk of trafficking and victims of human trafficking in the red-light districts of Yangon, and Northern and Eastern Shan state. This access has allowed Eden to identify and assist previously unknown victims of human trafficking, as well as collect vital migration tracking data. This unique design of programming is proven to address the root cause of their trafficking by reducing re-trafficking rates and facilitating sustainable reintegration after program graduation.
