Combating Human Trafficking

2009 Weekend of Prayer and Fasting

These pages provide highlights of The Salvation Army's many efforts to eradicate human trafficking. The Salvation Army believes that all abuse and exploitation of human beings is an offense against humankind and against God. Due to the inherently abusive and exploitive nature of human trafficking we consider all forms of trafficking in persons abhorrent. Combined with our mission to preach the gospel of Jesus and to meet human needs in His name without discrimination, these beliefs motivate us to work diligently for the prevention of human trafficking and for the restoration of trafficking survivors.

We hope that you will find the information provided here encouraging and inspiring. For a free packet of information about sex trafficking, email your request along with your name and mailing address to: anti_sextrafficking@usn.salvationarmy.org.
