The Problem
- Human trafficking is modern-day slavery, where traffickers use forceful or fraudulent means to recruit individuals for labor and sexual exploitation. The United Nations considers the act a violation of human rights and a serious crime affecting millions of people.1
- According to a 2022 Global Estimates of Modern Slavery report, there were over 27.6 million reported global human trafficking cases in 2021. Of this number, 6.3 million were sexual exploitation victims, while 17.3 million fell under the private sector.1
- A common misconception about human trafficking is that it does not happen in the United States. This is false, as the United States is ranked as one of the worst countries globally for human trafficking. It is estimated that 199,000 incidents occur in the United States every year.2
These staggering numbers have prompted governments, organizations, charities, and individuals worldwide to work together to combat sexual exploitation and human trafficking, with a particular emphasis on supporting and empowering young female survivors. Join us in our efforts to create a world free from human trafficking while uplifting and empowering those who have been affected by it.
The Solution
3-2-1 Empower is committed to ending the horrors of human trafficking. Ours is a multifaceted approach that includes advocating for new regulations to prevent human trafficking, supporting survivors of sex trafficking, and collaborating with organizations that provide them with a safe haven where they can receive nourishment, shelter, education, and rehabilitation. We believe that education and vocational training are critical to helping survivors rebuild their lives. By equipping survivors in India and North America with the necessary skills to find meaningful work we believe they will be empowered to live full and healthy lives.
