Why Participate and Spread Awareness?

HUMAN TRAFFICKING is modern-day slavery and is believed to be the third-largest criminal activity in the world.  There are an estimated 40 million victims of trafficking, globally.  Victims of trafficking are often lured with false promises, only to find themselves trapped in a cycle of abuse, exploitation, and violence. 

Together, we can bring hope to survivors, restore their dignity, and pave the way for a safer world where trafficking is no longer a threat.  You're not just standing for a cause; you're aligning with a community of passionate individuals dedicated to making a tangible difference.

Additionally, your contribution will aid in advocacy efforts that push for stronger laws and stricter enforcement against traffickers, ensuring that those responsible are held accountable.

Your support sends a clear message "we see the victims, we stand with them, and we will not rest until every person is free from the horrors of trafficking."

Your Support Makes a Difference

Myth vs. Reality​

Myth: It’s always a violent crime.
Reality: Most traffickers use psychological
manipulation, not physical force, to exploit
victims into commercial sex or labor.


Myth: All trafficking involves commercial sex
Reality: Human trafficking can involve both
labor exploitation and commercial sex, with
labor trafficking being more prevalent
globally.


Myth: Only women and girls are victims of sex
trafficking.

Reality: Up to half of sex trafficking victims
are male, including LGBTQ individuals who
are particularly vulnerable.
