Over the past six years, the number of people being trafficked has increased by 10 million. Of the 50 million trafficked globally, women and girls make up 80% of those experiencing commercial exploitation and 66% of those forced into early marriage. When we think about these statistics, we are reminded of how urgently we need to strengthen gender equity around the globe. 

While many women face some form of inequality in the workplace, trafficking survivors and women from economically marginalized backgrounds face the most extreme barriers. Some of these barriers include disruptions in education while being trafficked, limited access to safe opportunities, no professional network, lack of childcare, or depleted self-esteem. Our workforce development and empowerment programs remove the barriers to safe employment for women and girls most vulnerable to human trafficking. 

We need your help. Give today, and you will provide a woman or girl with the financial literacy skills, technical training, job placement, and entrepreneurial support needed to THRIVE and break cycles of poverty and trafficking in her family and community. 

Help us reverse cycles of economic vulnerability so ALL women and girls can THRIVE in freedom!
