Human trafficking, or modern-day slavery, is an issue that is largely hidden from our society. This issue not only ruins the lives of millions, but it also violates a person's innate dignity. Our goal is to provide accurate information about this crime, and supply ways that we can make a difference.

Human trafficking is a major problem in today's world that often goes unnoticed. Victims of this crime are robbed of their human rights, right to life, and human dignity. Almost all victims are used in either forced labor or as sex slaves. While being forced to work, victims also are abused and betrayed.

Even if victims manage to get out of this labor, many victims have no where to go, no one to turn to, and suffer later on from the events they have experience. Overall, human trafficking violates basic human rights and a person's free will. It violates all that God has give us.

If our project reaches the stage of social change, there will be some opposition from the individuals and corporations that benefit from trafficking and forced labor.
