Racha Haffar Biography

Racha Haffar is a Tunisian-American gender justice and anti-human trafficking activist whose personal experience with a trafficking scheme shaped her commitment to combating exploitation. At age 18, Haffar narrowly avoided becoming a victim of human trafficking after responding to a fraudulent babysitting advertisement while seeking income for postsecondary education in the United Kingdom. This incident heightened her awareness of the risks faced by young women in similar situations and motivated her to address human trafficking and modern slavery.

Haffar holds double master's degrees in international relations and international development and cooperation from the Universities of Tunis and Palermo. She is a Fulbright alumna at the University of Kentucky, a journalist, and a professor of public speaking and professional communication.

Haffar is the founder and president of Not 4 Trade, the first anti-human trafficking nongovernmental organization in Tunisia. The organization focuses on public education about human trafficking, advocacy, and providing support services for survivors, including physical and psychological assistance. Haffar published her research on "The Developments of Trafficking in Women in Post-Revolution Tunisia" in Slavery Today Journal. She is also an internationally CPD-certified trainer on human trafficking and related issues through Safe Coalition for Human Rights.

In addition to her work with Not 4 Trade, Haffar established the Youth Against Slavery Movement, a US-based nonprofit organization headquartered in New York City with global hubs, and the Anti Slavery Collective for Generation Equality Forum, which brings together more than 150 civil society organizations to address human trafficking and promote gender equality. These initiatives focus on youth engagement, capacity building, and collaborative solutions to prevent exploitation.

Haffar has held consultative and leadership roles with organizations such as the African Youth Networks Movement, Global Africans Against Slavery, and UN Women's Gender Innovation Agora and Generation Equality Youth Task Force. She has also served as vice president of the Bluegrass chapter of the United Nations Association in Kentucky and chaired its anti-human trafficking committee.

Haffar has received the Women's Rights Award from the United Nations Association, the Leadership Award from the University of Kentucky, and an award from the Thomson Reuters Foundation. She was selected as one of 25 profiles in ChangeNOW's Women for Change campaign. Haffar has delivered a TEDx talk titled "The Art of Befriending Your Fears" and speaks internationally on movement building, youth leadership, gender justice, and efforts to combat modern slavery.
