Our work matters because people matter.

Every day, millions of people are bought and sold for sex. In fact, more people are being commodified than at any other point in history. Since 2012, we've been on a mission to change that by building a global movement to put sexual exploitation out of business. With the help of generous supporters like you, we're getting closer every day.

Where We Work

We unite funders, adventurers, and every day people with over 40 local organizations across more than 25 countries. Together, we find and accelerate the most effective frontline initiatives and create resources and tools to scale the fight against human trafficking. It's working.

Our work covers the entire issue, and every day we invest in what's working and build what's missing across these critical areas of strategy:
X
Making everyday people aware of the reality of sex trafficking, turning apathy into passion, activists into abolitionists.
X
Making sex trafficking illegal. We need legislation in every nation that condemns the trafficking and exploitation of human life.
X
Enforcing laws that already exist. Protecting victims, prosecuting perpetrators, addressing corruption, and ensuring justice.

Our Impact:

We work with over 40 local partners spanning more than 25 countries to fight sex trafficking daily.

1,040,125 people have been impacted through aftercare, prevention, outreach, awareness, and intervention programs since 2012.

Over 220 unique programs holistically combating trafficking and scaling the global movement.

75 safe homes operating worldwide provide holistic care to help victims become survivors.

Last year, 2,114 people were set free from sex trafficking.

Last year, 32,299 people were impacted through online and in-person outreach.

Last year, 2,664 people were empowered with job training. 711 people have been employed as a direct result.

Last year, 5,926 people were empowered with a life-changing education. Education is one of the most powerful ways to prevent trafficking.

Last year, 18,115 attempts to purchase sex were disrupted.

Sustainable work is locally-led.

The difference between independence and exploitation looks different in every city, and so does how we tackle the issue. We work with local organizations that understand the vulnerabilities of sex trafficking in their communities best and combat the problem at its source. We partner with leading experts worldwide who can demonstrate programmatic effectiveness, scalability, financial accountability, and an expert-level understanding of sex trafficking and exploitation. These men and women prevent exploitation daily, develop strategic intervention strategies, diminish demand, and guide survivors on a path toward restoration across 26 countries.
