January is Human Trafficking Prevention Month. Preventing human trafficking happens to be our specialty, but we need your help to spread the word so that we can reach more people on the brink of being trafficked—BEFORE it’s too late.
That’s our theme for this month: BEFORE. Our work stops trafficking before exploitation happens, before irreversible harm can be done.
The problem
Human trafficking affects an estimated 50 million people worldwide. That covers sex trafficking, labor trafficking, child trafficking, trafficking for organ removal, and forced marriage, with many cases overlapping. Trafficking runs rampant across numerous industries, from sex work and mining to domestic servitude (household help), fishing, and field labor. It occurs in every single country and impacts people of all ages and genders, though minorities and impoverished populations—those most vulnerable—are often the primary targets.
Our solution
We’re on a mission to end this injustice, and we have a solid strategy that has proven effective thousands of times—over 70,000 times, to be more specific.
Transit monitoring is by far the most impactful way to fight human trafficking. Love Justice intercepts people as they are being trafficked but before they’re enslaved, with an unmatched impact on the dollar at less than $150 per intercept. We are ready to scale it, and there is evidence that doing so will cause the structures that support human trafficking to collapse.
