Lovely photos from the #myfreedomday event at the International School of Ulaanbaatar in Mongolia. Thanks for participating!
We're still seeing schools post their photos and videos from #MyFreedomDay. These wonderful pictures came to us from the Windhoek International School in Namibia.

Do you have any idea where the superfoods - like açaí berries - that go into those fancy bowls or smoothies, actually come from? Julia Vargas Jones traveled deep into the Amazon to find out and the images she returned with might shock you. #myfreedomday cnn.com/world/americas/acai-…
It may be hard to fathom, but in some parts of the world, people are still paying off the debts taken by their distant ancestors. As part of #MyFreedomDay this year, @mchancecnn introduces us to the Harawa-Charawa of Nepal. cnn.com/videos/world/2024/03…
#MyFreedomDay is this Thursday, March 14th. Please spread the word and help stop slavery around the world.
Her images of children forced to work are both illuminating and unsettling. Ahead of @CNNFreedom's #MyFreedomDay, we sit down with renowned photographer @lisakristine to find out what she hopes other people take away from her work. cnn.it/4aaAwrb
Ever wonder whether public awareness campaigns actually make a difference? Ahead of #MyFreedomDay, check out this wonderful story from CNN's Vedika Sud @vedikas about what took place shortly after @A21's Walk for Freedom last fall. cnn.it/3Pin2Bw
Child labor doesn't just happen in the least developed countries. Increasingly, it's also happening in places like the United States. Joanna Ewart-James of Humanity United illustrates the problem, while CNN's David Culver highlights a recent case outside LA. #MyFreedomDay

Wonderful to spend time with the mega talented students of @dansolschools as they celebrated #myfreedomday with a packed day of activities.
At Dansol High School in Lagos, students are commemorating #MyFreedomDay by dressing up as famous freedom fighters from history, including Nelson Mandela and Rosa Parks.
Students tell @StephanieBusari the rationale of this exercise is to "remember the lessons of the past."
The signs of modern-day slavery aren't always obvious. Here's how you can tell if a friend or acquaintance may be in trouble. #MyFreedomDay edition.cnn.com/interactive/…
For girls and young women trapped in modern slavery, dropping out of school may be a sign that something is wrong.

They're educated, tech-savvy... and have been trafficked into forced labor in SE Asia.
