UNDERSTANDING HUMAN TRAFFICKING

Human trafficking is the exploitation of individuals for commercial sex through force, fraud, or coercion, affecting nearly 25 million people worldwide. It is a hidden crisis that could touch anyone—neighbors, friends, or family. At One More Child, we bring healing and hope to survivors while working to prevent exploitation. Every child deserves protection and a chance to thrive.
