Stand Against Trafficking

Human trafficking is a crime against humanity. It involves an act of recruiting, transporting, transferring, harboring or receiving a person through use of force, coercion or other means, for the purpose of exploiting them.

In the world today experts tell us there are millions of human slaves. There are more slaves today than there were at the height of the Trans-Atlantic slave trade.

The plight of these slaves goes unnoticed, but it does affect all of us. Children around the world are at risk of being trafficked.
