Human Trafficking
600,000 to 800,000 men, woman and children, are trafficked each year...
We are not objects....
We are not for sale.....
"Two years ago everything changed. I was trafficked. I was fooled. I was deceived by a man who said that he loved me. The tragedy is that I believed him. Now I know that love is not shown by forcing me to work on the streets, beating me up, force feeding me and turning me into someone with no mind of my own. I had become like a frightened rabbit. I was terrified that he would kill me. Death too often felt like my only way to escape.
People are product.
I was one of them.
But I am a survivor.
I have a new life but I am haunted by the faces of those who used me, those whom I did not choose, those for whom I was nothing more than a ten-minute thing.
Please join STOP THE TRAFFIK and make a difference to people's lives... ... people like me."

We are like you, so treat us like equals!
Human trafficking is not an option. So why do people treat it like one?
Taken
A friend, a stranger, a family member.
Exploited
Everyday a victim is exploited.
A friend, a stranger, a family member.
Forgotten
Everyday, this happens. And everyday, no one does anything.
It's time to put an end to human trafficking once and for all. It all starts with you.
