27 million people are enslaved in the world today.

Between 800,000- 900,000 are trafficked across international borders every year. The U.S. Department of State estimates that 14,500-17,500 are trafficked into the Unites States each year. Trafficking victims have been discovered in all 50 states. North Carolina has documented cases of both sex and labor trafficking. Human Trafficking, also known as modern day slavery, is a monstrous, abominable issue that is affecting countries across the world...

...including our own.


What is Human Trafficking?

According to the Trafficking Victims Protection Act , “Severe Forms of Trafficking in Persons” is defined as:

  • Sex Trafficking: the recruitment, harboring, transportation, provision, or obtaining of a person for the purpose of a commercial sex act, in which a commercial sex act is induced by force, fraud, or coercion, or in which the person forced to perform such an act is under the age of 18 years; or
  • Labor Trafficking: the recruitment, harboring, transportation, provision, or obtaining of a person for labor or services, through the use of force, fraud or coercion for the purpose of subjection to involuntary servitude, peonage, debt bondage or slavery.

Let's prevent it before it starts!

By providing education to the community, services providers, and at-risk populations, World Relief increases awareness on the crime of human trafficking. As more people become educated on the issue of human trafficking, more victims of have the opportunity to be identified and rescued out of slavery
