Mission Statement
Traffick Free is an anti-human trafficking organization that seeks to raise awareness of human trafficking through education and community outreach.
Description
Human beings are not commodities. We are not disposable. Our worth cannot be affixed to a price, and any act that does so must not be tolerated.
Yet, not only is it tolerated, but human trafficking is the fastest growing criminal industry in the world; it is second most profitable after drug smuggling, and equal with illegal arms transactions. It thrives because it is invisible - subversive - and this will continue as long as most people fail to realize that it is happening all around them.
Therefore, it is our purpose to create awareness of human trafficking, and train those who work directly with victims and survivors. As citizens, we may not have all the answers, but we believe we are part of the solution.
You don’t have to be a social worker or federal agent to make a difference. All you have to do is care that there are human beings who are not free, and be willing to take action on their behalf.
Welcome to a new world - one that is Traffick Free.
