Human Trafficking & Modern Slavery
There are an estimated 40.3 million victims of modern slavery across the world. They are some of the most vulnerable members of society and often remain unseen.
The Anglican Alliance is working with churches and partner organisations across the Anglican Communion and beyond to tackle human trafficking and equip and support church communities to tackle this evil and to assist those who have been caught in the trade.
Human trafficking is a grave crime against humanity. It is a form of modern-day slavery and a profound violation of the intrinsic dignity of human beings. This outrage should concern each one of us, because what affects one part of humanity affects us all.
If we are to combat this evil then we must work together to prevent the crime, support the survivors and prosecute the criminals. The knowledge that churches have of their local communities puts them on the frontline of this campaign.
This information and resource hub brings together the knowledge and learning the Anglican Alliance has gained over many years of working in this area.
