Consumer Awareness and Advocacy

We are committed to ending global child trafficking and human slavery by empowering consumers with the knowledge and tools they need to make informed decisions. We believe that consumer awareness is a powerful force in combating these heinous crimes. Here’s how we are advocating for and promoting consumer awareness:

education iconEducating Consumers

We provide comprehensive resources to educate consumers about the realities of human trafficking and slavery. Our educational materials include detailed information on how these crimes occur, who is most vulnerable, and the industries most affected. By understanding the scope and impact of human trafficking, consumers can make more informed choices.

money iconPromoting Ethical Purchasing

We encourage consumers to support brands and companies that adhere to ethical labor practices. Our organization provides a list of vetted companies that prioritize fair trade, transparency, and worker rights. By choosing products from these companies, consumers can help reduce demand for goods produced through exploitative labor.

community iconRaising Awareness Through Campaigns

Our awareness campaigns aim to highlight the signs of human trafficking and how individuals can report suspicious activities. We utilize social media platforms, public service announcements, and community events to spread our message widely. These campaigns empower consumers to be vigilant and proactive in their communities.

business iconCollaborating with Businesses

We work closely with businesses to implement anti-trafficking policies within their supply chains. By collaborating with industry leaders, we help ensure that products reaching consumers are free from forced labor. This partnership not only benefits businesses but also reassures consumers about the integrity of their purchases.

 

legal iconProviding Reporting Mechanisms

Consumers play a crucial role in identifying potential cases of trafficking. We offer clear guidance on how to report suspected incidents through hotlines and online platforms dedicated to combating human trafficking. By facilitating easy access to reporting mechanisms, we enable consumers to take immediate action when necessary.

Together, through education, ethical purchasing decisions, awareness campaigns, business collaboration, and effective reporting mechanisms, we can create a world where child trafficking and human slavery are eradicated.

Children are 4 times more likely to be trafficked for labor rather than sex.

Though millions of children are trafficked, there is a much larger number of children involved in child labor that is not considered trafficking.

There are an estimated 168 million child laborers around the world, with around half of them participating in what is known as “hazardous work” – work that endangers the child’s physical, emotional, or social well-being.
