There has never been more slavery in the world than today. We just refer to it by different names.
Reports of child sexual abuse material (CSAM) online have increased 15,000% over the last 15 years.
Freedom is a fundamental right for everyone, everywhere, always. But it can’t be taken for granted: modern slavery keeps around 50 million people worldwide from exercising their freedom – with children representing 1 in 4 people trapped in slavery.
Rescue of human trafficking and sex trafficking victims, with a special focus on children, and a wider goal of eliminating sex trafficking world-wide.
Our Mission
To shine a light worldwide on the global issue of child sex trafficking and exploitation, and in so doing rescue more children from slavery and assist law enforcement to seek justice for those who violate children. We place survivors on a path to recovery by partnering with vetted aftercare providers.
Our Vision
To completely eradicate homelessness and sexual exploitation amongst men, women and children; increase the availability of non government residential, rehabilitative centers for juvenile offenders; and annihilate unemployment through the use of informal education programs, the facilitation of culinary skills training, and the creation of unique employment opportunities.
Reach is the difference between vulnerability and safety.
Educating and equipping everyone to understand, identify, and reduce the risk of human trafficking through programs like educational curriculum, prevention programs, and awareness campaigns.

The phrase “human trafficking” was introduced decades ago with relatively few people tracking the issue. But today, many of us know about this horrific crime. The number of reports about children being trafficked is skyrocketing. It can seem like the issue is getting worse as new stories are unearthed. But the more deeply we understandably the issue of child trafficking, the closer we are to ending it.
We respond to sex and labor trafficking as they happen. We learn from that response and share that learning. Finally, we use what we learn to pilot big, new ideas for slowly, carefully, finally, dismantling big, old systems that make trafficking possible. We are focused where we think we can make the most change: Systems that trap impoverished migrants in degrading conditions; systems that allow sex traffickers to hide behind screens and systems that, if optimized, would allow the financial services industry to use traffickers’ own money to shut them down.
