Planning Your Freedom
Digital Safety First
Use a burner phone if possible, or borrow a trusted friend's device. Delete your browsing history regularly.
Use incognito/private mode when reading this site to prevent others from seeing your browsing history.
Don't share your plans with anyone you don't fully trust. Even well-meaning people might unintentionally reveal your plans.
Prepare a go-bag with essential items: ID documents, money, phone, medications, and a change of clothing. Keep it hidden but accessible.
Avoid social media posting about your plans or feelings. Assume all your devices might be monitored.
Use public Wi-Fi or a trusted friend's phone if your devices are monitored. Consider creating a new email account for safe communication.
