Summary

Slavery is the fastest growing organized crime in the world. It's real, hidden in plain sight, and tearing at the social fabric of every nation and economic structure. But that's why we exist- 21st Century abolitionists determined to bring change. Our operational strategy, and the heart cry of our organization, is to Reach, Rescue, and Restore lives.

Purpose

We are one of the largest organizations in the world that is solely fighting human trafficking. At a local, domestic, and international level. All over the world, we are not just responding to trafficking that is already taking place, but we are actively working on the frontlines to prevent it from happening to begin with.

We have a contextualized approach. Because the problem looks different everywhere we work, so does our response. We're innovative and creative. We identify the gaps in each context and seek to fill them.

We have a unique vision to scale impact. Our Reach, Rescue, and Restore programs work together to provide a comprehensive response to human trafficking. Each program has been designed to stand alone-filling critical gaps in the communities we work in without duplicating efforts. We are also committed to giving away our resources and knowledge to other groups combatting human trafficking so we can reach a tipping point where slavery is abolished everywhere, forever.

We have an unwavering commitment to the one. Whether it's preventing one life from ever experiencing exploitation in the first place to walking alongside the one who has toward freedom, independence, and a better story. We are with them every step of the way.

We believe in the role of abolitionists. Simply put, our work wouldn't be possible without you. Your giving, volunteering, fundraising, hosting, walking, and sharing is why we will see the day where a world without slavery becomes a reality.

Our team is comprised of qualified and seasoned professionals. Our team members are driven by a personal sense of calling and are deeply passionate to see slavery come to an end. Our staff on the ground is focused on raising up local leaders to make a difference in their countries, cities, and communities all over the world.

Partnership is essential to everything we do. We understand that real change takes time, and it's nearly impossible without collaboration. That's why we work with government entities, law enforcement, frontline professionals, other non-profits, individuals, and industries in nearly every sector-because to end slavery, it will take all of us.

History

In 2008, a few ordinary people set out to do the impossible... abolish slavery everywhere, forever. To see a world where women are no longer sold for sex. Where men are no longer sold for labor. Where children are no longer taken from their families and exploited. Where every single person is free.
