Child trafficking is a prevalent issue across the globe. It’s difficult to wrap one’s mind around the fact that slavery, in any form, still exists, let alone the slavery of children. Today, one of the most heart-wrenching forms of child labor taking place exists within the fishing industry on Lake Volta in Ghana.  

We are excited to share that because of people like you joining with us in the fight to stop human trafficking, we have intercepted over 20,000 individuals to prevent them from becoming victims of modern-day slavery. Here's a glimpse into the impact that has taken place across the globe thanks to those partnering with us! 

Our highly trained transit monitors are a crucial part of our anti-trafficking strategy to prevent vulnerable men, women, and children from ever experiencing the exploitation and abuse of this horrible crime. 

Human trafficking is one of the most devastating inhumanities in the world today. Globally, it is estimated that there are over 40 million slaves—the largest amount in history.

Shalom Home at Tiggy's House is one of 18 family homes that Love Justice operates throughout South Asia. But many people don't know the amazing story behind how this home got started. In 2010, John and Dana Hanley lost their son Matthias, or Tiggy as his family affectionately nicknamed him, when he was just 21 months old. In the midst of their grief, they embarked on a journey to find a renewed sense of life, love, and hope. 

A little over a year ago, acting upon a tip received from an informant, our Love Justice staff intercepted three young women at an airport in Nepal. According to the statement given by them, a woman had come to their separate villages offering jobs to multiple females to work abroad. 

Alina* was only 19 years old when she and her sister left their village and traveled with their father to a nearby city to find work. They were from a poor family, and they were all struggling to make ends meet. Their father found them both housing and a stable job where they ended up working safely for five years. 

Human traffickers lure their victims by preying upon their greatest insecurities and weaknesses. For many, this weakness is living a life plagued by constant poverty with very little hope of circumstances ever changing. These individuals are completely desperate, struggling to provide for themselves and often their families.

At Love Justice, we believe human life is priceless—regardless of where you live, what you look like, or who your grandparents are. Men, women, and children should NOT be for sale. Orphaned children deserve a family, a home, and an education. But unfortunately, there are parts of the world where lives are not valued equally and where beauty is not seen.

Human trafficking is an intricate web of deceit, greed, and depravity. It’s a vast industry of corruption that requires an army of people willing to come together with one common mission: to bring traffickers to justice and to end modern-day slavery and the exploitation of innocent lives across the globe.
