ANTI- SLAVERY
WEEK
The purpose for the campaign is to raise awareness of this highly kept secret, as well as raise funds to free slaves worldwide. It costs approximately $4500 to free one victim. Our goal is to free at least one individual! Today, there are more than 27 million slaves worldwide, which is more than ever before in history.
Currently, the Human Trafficking Industry is THE largest growing criminal activity in the world. Last year, the sex industry made over $32 billion, which is more than Google, Nike and Starbucks combined. Innocent children, men and women are sold into slavery and forced to perform sexual services, unbearable manual labor and made into child soldiers where are they often forced to murder their own families. More than 2 million children are exploited for sex every year. Help us take a stand and stop this growing problem together !!
In Canada alone, traffickers buy and sell anybody they can, including babies, who are sold for sex. One recent report claims several women and children have been trafficked from Thunder Bay, Ontario and sold on ships in Duluth, Minnesota. Read more about this problem by clicking the link below.
