FACT: THERE ARE MORE THAN 27 MILLION SLAVES IN THE WORLD TODAY, MORE THAN AT ANY OTHER POINT IN HUMAN HISTORY.

Human Trafficking is the modern-day slave trade
Slaves work anywhere their owners can make a profit - the fields, brothels, homes, mines, restaurants….
We can end slavery in our lifetime. Everyone has a role to play: government, business, international organizations, consumers, and YOU.
National Human Trafficking Resource Center (NHTRC) is a national, toll-free hotline, available to answer calls from anywhere in the country, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, every day of the year. Please call 1-888-3737-888 to report a tip, connect with anti-trafficking services in your area, or to request training and technical assistance. For more information, please see the Polaris Project website.
