“If we solve for human trafficking, we solve for many other areas of vulnerability in our city.” That is the aim of Ashleigh Chapman, Founder and President of Alliance for Freedom, Restoration, and Justice, an organization committed to fighting modern day slavery.
Slavery is no longer legal in any country, but there are more slaves on the planet today than ever before. The best estimates are there are currently 47 million slaves who fund a $150 billion global industry. It’s a global crisis, which means the problem is not in just some far away country.
There are 100,000 to 300,000 United States citizens who are currently trafficked in the United States, and many of these are children in the foster system. This is a crime hidden in plain sight in our own neighborhoods and communities, which gives the body of Christ an opportunity to engage and to provide real hope.
