2. GLOBAL PROBLEM
People all around the world continue to be exploited through human trafficking.
All around the world traffickers prey on those who are vulnerable and exploit that vulnerability for profit.
Men, women and children are exploited, stripped of their humanity and put to work for other people’s gain. They are trafficked away from their homes and kept co-operative through deception and coercion.
We have seen traffickers working their way down the valleys of rural China and picking off women one by one, village by village. We have seen children trafficked into Malawi to work as herd boys, household labourers or into prostitution. We have heard stories of women arriving back daily to Nepal in body bags. We have seen horrendous exploitation, abuse and injustice. But we also see hope…

3. But The Salvation Army is responding and seeing the fight working.
WILL YOU CRY FREEDOM?
But The Salvation Army is responding and seeing the fight working.
This is because in many places The Salvation Army is there and already responding, providing support to individuals being rescued from trafficking to help them start to reclaim their freedom. We are also empowering communities through education and income generation so that they are better protected from the dangers of being trafficked in the first place.

4. CHINA
Reports of trafficking in Chinese valleys has fallen to zero due to:
Awareness-raising
Income generation.
We have seen reports of trafficking in those rural Chinese valleys fall to zero due to a combination of awareness-raising and income generation efforts. In fact, it has been said that the traffickers no longer even visit these villages, because they now know that there’s nothing for them there.

5. MALAWI
In Malawi hundreds of children have been given the chance to reclaim their childhood at our anti-child trafficking centre.
Many communities across the country have also been mobilised to spot the dangers of trafficking and protect children before they end up exploited.
We see similar success in Malawi. Not only have hundreds of children been given the chance to reclaim their childhood at our anti-child trafficking centre, but many communities across the country have also been mobilised to spot the dangers of trafficking and protect children before they end up exploited.

6. WILL YOU CRY FREEDOM?
This is the impact that our work can have if you take action:
Every individual rescued from trafficking is another person who can start to reclaim their freedom, be supported to recover from their experiences and develop skills to give them the chance for a better future.  
Every community empowered through education and income generation is another community better protected from the dangers of trafficking.

7. ACT NOW
We can tackle trafficking and see freedom proclaimed for the thousands of people trafficked or at risk. Will you take action? GIVE NOW and commit to a regular gift to help us tackle trafficking amongst some of the poorest people in our world.
But there are many people who are still trapped or at risk. The scale of trafficking is enormous – it is the fastest growing means by which people are enslaved, the fastest growing international crime, and one of the largest sources of income for organised crime.
That means we need to keep up the fight to give others the chance for freedom and more communities the armour of knowledge that they need to protect themselves.
We can stand up for those whose voices have been silenced by traffickers, those loud and bright souls being kept hidden.
It’s time to rise up and take action to combat trafficking, protect victims and restore our world.
ACT NOW and help The Salvation Army CRY FREEDOM.
