The A21 Campaign

Human trafficking is one of the fastest-growing crimes, and it affects people of all genders. In fact, nearly half of those trapped in modern-day slavery are men and boys. These statistics remind us that trafficking impacts a diverse range of individuals but together, we can change the statistics: ⁠ ✅We can increase awareness on a mass scale to protect the vulnerable before exploitation occurs. ⁠ ✅We can report suspicions and push for frontline professional training in our local communities. ⁠ ✅And we can donate to support holistic aftercare to empower survivors to avoid re-victimization. ⁠ ⁠ We know how to stop the cycle of human trafficking, and with your help, we will. Visit A21.org/TheHub to take the first step towards making a difference!

TODAY is World Day Against Trafficking and this year’s theme is: leave no child behind in the fight against human trafficking. According to the UN: 👉 1 in 3 victims of human trafficking globally is a child. 👉 Children are among the most vulnerable to trafficking, with girls being disproportionately affected. 👉 Kids are subjected to forms of trafficking. Including sexual exploitation, forced labor, forced begging, and more. Here at A21, we are committed to fighting for freedom and justice for children all across the globe. No child should have to relive their trauma in uncomfortable environments to seek justice. That's why we've opened Child Advocacy Centers—safe spaces designed with child psychology in mind for trauma-informed counseling and testimonial support. When you give to A21’s Aftercare programs, you ensure that more children have a safe place to heal and recover. Visit A21.org/give to give and be part of the solution. #EndHumanTrafficking When you give today, your donation will be doubled thanks to a generous match donation made by a supporter like you.

Meet Yasmin, a survivor of human trafficking who wasn’t just exploited once, but twice before she found freedom. Her story sheds light on the harrowing experiences she endured before ultimately reclaiming her freedom. Traffickers prey on vulnerability and the need for a new life, robbing victims of hope and a future through false promises. With your support, we can step in and help these survivors find healing and rebuild their lives. Our desire is to shine a light on human trafficking and the reality of exploitation while empowering the public with the knowledge to prevent human trafficking before it can begin. Join our fight by visiting A21.org/give. Your donation today directly aids survivors like Yasmin. Not only that but whatever you donate today will be DOUBLED thanks to a generous match donation.

Forced labor is the most common form of human trafficking in the U.K. It happens when someone is made to work through physical threats, psychological coercion, deception, or abuse. Labor trafficking usually occurs in the hidden parts of an economy. It’s prevalent in industries of service (ei. car washes and salons) and supply chains like agriculture and manufacturing where unofficial, informal practices allow exploitation to take place more easily. Do you know the signs of a false job opportunity? 📩 Visit A21.org/resources and download our Safe Employment Guide today.

Europe holds a significant place for us in the fight against human trafficking, being where it all began for A21. Our Co-Founder, Christine Caine, was walking through an airport in Greece when she saw a Missing Person Poster of a young girl with the same name as her daughter. When she learned the faces on the posters were alleged victims of human trafficking, there was no turning back—marking the beginning of A21. Since 2008, we have had initiatives on the ground across Europe and today we continue to be at the forefront of the fight against trafficking in the region. Visit A21.org/Give to partner with us to make eradicating human trafficking across Europe and the globe a reality. For a limited time thanks to a generous match donation, all donations will be doubled up to $315,000.
