Modern slavery

"But this is a people robbed and plundered; they are all of them snared in holes and hidden in houses of bondage. They have become a prey, with no one to deliver them, a spoil, with no one to say, restore them!" (Isaiah 42:22)

 

Human trafficking is the second largest global organized crime today, generating approximately 31.6 billion USD each year. Specifically, trafficking for sexual exploitation generates 27.8 billion USD per year. There are 1.39 million victims of commercial sexual servitude worldwide. 90% of victims trafficked into the European Union member states will end up in the sex industry. Tragically, only 1-2 percent of victims are rescued, and only 1 in 100,000 Europeans involved in trafficking are convicted.

 

The A21 Campaign is comprised of individuals, organizations, government officials, and people like you and I who are committed to abolishing injustice in the 21st century. The goal of the A21 Campaign is four-fold:

• Prevent people from being trafficked
• Protect and support those who have been trafficked
• Prosecute traffickers, and strengthen legal responses to trafficking
• Partner with law enforcement, service providers and community members to provide a comprehensive front against trafficking

Take part in abolishing human trafficking. You cannot help all the victims. But helping one victim is far better than helping none! Visit http://www.thea21campaign.org/home.php.
