ORGANIZATIONS
“The health of a democratic society may be measured
by the quality of functions performed by private citizens.“
~ Alexis de Tocqueville
This is a partial list of prominent organizations which are working towards ending trafficking. Many organizations have different focuses, regarding various aspects of the problem, or on particular responses to it. Some address sex trafficking, while others emphasize labor abuses. Some are geared toward rescue and recovery of victims, and some stress prevention through public education. Still others concentrate on criminal prosecutions and legislative agendas, which will put the perpetrators out of business. We believe that all of these approaches are valuable and necessary.
Fight Slavery Now! is happy to work with and support all those organizations driven by a vision of the future where slavery, in its many guises, has truly been abolished.
ECPAT-USA An organization, fighting Child Trafficking, for sexual purposes.
Free the Slaves Abolitionists, working against human trafficking.
GEMS (Girls Education and Mentoring Services) A local organization, helping girls victimized by sex trafficking.
Polaris Project An organization, operating the National Human Trafficking Resource Center.
