Your story is touched by modern slavery

Nearly everything we consume — from clothing, to the batteries in our cell phones, to the fish we eat — has forced labor and exploitation hidden somewhere inside its production.

Many of us, including the businesses who make the products we buy, have no idea when or where the exploitation occurs.

And it’s growing every single day.

About 45.8 million people today are living in slave-like conditions. That’s bigger than the population of California, Canada, or Argentina.

Nearly every country on earth is affected, including the United States.

And, more than $150 billion in profits are generated annually by businesses employing slavery and exploitation. This is bigger than the revenues of Google, Microsoft, Apple, Exxon Mobil, and JP Morgan Chase — combined.

Since 2007, we have supported over 95,000 survivors of human trafficking. Other non-profits would consider this a success. But we believe we should stop trafficking before it starts.

While the impact numbers of our work are true and vitally important — each number is a placeholder for a living, breathing, human. Please keep this in mind as you read about our work.
