Today is SHINE A LIGHT ON SLAVERY DAY…
HUMAN TRAFFICKING is the illegal trade of human beings, mainly for the purposes of forced labor and sex trafficking.
- Over 27 MILLION people trapped in slavery around the world
- Every 30 seconds, someone becomes a victim of modern-day slavery
- $150.2 BILLION per year in profits
- 1-2% of victims are ever rescued
- The average age of a victim is 12 years old
“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” -Martin Luther King Jr.
These are three organizations that I personally get behind. You may be surprised to find out that your city is a hub for trafficking. Find ways to get involved locally, or simply spread awareness and donate to a cause. We can all do something to fight this horrific crime. We fight for one.
