PACT’s 2024 Freedom Awards: Child Protection Cannot Wait
The 2024 Freedom Awards have officially come to a close! We are so grateful to everyone who attended our second Freedom Awards as PACT (formerly known as ECPAT-USA). The energy and excitement in the room was palpable, and the stories shared will be remembered for a lifetime.
We are indebted to everyone who showed up to share in our vision, building a world in which no child is ever bought, sold, or used for sex.

We are thrilled to announce Jess Dannhauser as the Keynote Speaker for this year Freedom Award Benefit. Jess Dannhauser is the Commissioner of the NYC Administration for Children's Services (ACS). Commissioner Dannhauser was appointed by Mayor Eric Adams in 2022 to help lead a more upstream approach to supporting New York families.
