Human trafficking is a global crisis affecting millions of vulnerable people, often exploited through deception or violence. With more slaves today than in earlier times, human trafficking represents a $7 billion black market and the fastest-growing illegal trade. You can help stop this injustice by raising awareness, advocating for victims, and supporting fundraising efforts for safe houses and vocational training. Join us on Freedom Day, March 25, 2023, to unite local activities and take action against this heinous crime. Together, we can prevent the sale of people, prosecute traffickers, and protect victims.
