The Problem
- Over 50 million people are living in modern slavery today, many as a result of human trafficking.*
- Traffickers prey on the most vulnerable. People are deceived and sometimes forced to leave their homes usually with the promise of marriage or a job too good to be true....only to be sold, exploited, or enslaved.
Love Justice works to stop human trafficking—before it starts.
We train and place monitors at strategic transit points to identify and stop trafficking as it is occurring, BEFORE people are exploited.
*Walk Free, Global Slavery Index 2023
To date, we've intercepted over 80,000 individuals to prevent them from being trafficked. That's 80,000 real people like...
- Saida who met a man who had befriended her aunt. He promised Saida a job as a domestic helper in another country and then drugged her on the journey before our monitors were able to intercept her.
- Kalyani who was deceived by the false promise of marriage from an older neighbor, and ran away from her family to be with him. Our monitors caught the man in his lies and returned her home safely.
- Meera who was targeted by her trafficker online, when a boy on Facebook messaged her about her “beautiful smile.”
- Senzo and Ayanda who were both recruited through online job ads, but our monitors were able to confirm that the jobs were illegitimate.
We believe that every life is beautiful and worth fighting for—not even one human being should be trafficked. Together, we must intervene before people are exploited. This is an all-hands-on-deck kind of movement!
Supporters all over are standing together to fight against injustice.
Supporters like Shana, who recently got to travel and see what her giving accomplishes firsthand, “While we were there, a 13-year-old girl was intercepted, and I will always have her face in my mind; it’s just imprinted there. We took the walk to [the red light district] and it only took us four minutes to get there. Just knowing that that little girl would have been trapped there forever, and now she’s not—it changed me forever.” —Shana Olinger
