July 30th marks World Day Against Trafficking in Persons, a day to raise awareness of human exploitation and combat the practice through collaboration, education, and advocacy.
At Heartland Alliance, we believe that human trafficking is the result of inequity. Across our five companies, and across eight countries around the world, we fight for economic opportunity for vulnerable populations to reduce exploitation – and we educate communities to recognize when and how these practices happen. Together, we believe we can end human trafficking.
