HUMAN TRAFFICKING STATS

Human trafficking statistics reveal a very sad reality for many people

Behind every stat is a person — someone’s child, parent, sibling, family member, or friend. This is a severe issue that doesn’t end with one person or one survivor at a time.

It takes a global community to learn, connect, and collaborate to combat human trafficking and promote social justice.

Our educational arm is comprised of:
