Humans Should Never Be For Sale.
Along with providing immediate refuge and relief for victims, we take a holistic approach to healing;
helping each client move from a state of victimized enslavement to God-centered self-sufficiency.
Between 14,500 and 17,500 people are trafficked into the U.S. each year.
This form of modern-day enslavement exists all over the United States.
The Salvation Army declares war on human trafficking.
The Salvation Army Emergency Trafficking Program works in collaboration with local law enforcement, FBI, ICE and numerous other community providers to identify, rescue and restore victims of forced labor and sexual exploitation. Through our nationwide case management network, we serve both foreign and domestic victims of all ages and ethnic backgrounds. Along with providing immediate refuge and relief for victims, we take a holistic approach to healing; helping each client move from a state of victimized enslavement to God-centered self-sufficiency.

Awareness Initiatives
The Salvation Army partners with local coalitions to raise public awareness of the injustices of human trafficking. By planning prevention activities and working to reduce the demand for commercial sex and forced labor, we prevent future victims. By improving the identification and prosecution of local traffickers, we help rescue and restore current victims.
A legacy of justice
For over 200 years, The Salvation Army has been advocating for the rights of women and children subjected to organized commercial sexual exploitation. In the 1800s, we pioneered an undercover investigation of sex trafficking, which helped shape the Criminal Law Amendment Act of 1885. By 1900, we had established over 100 "rescue homes" throughout London to abet safe escape from prostitution. More than a century later, we continue to fight for the abolition of sex trafficking worldwide.
