A21

A21 is one of the largest organizations in the world that is solely fighting human trafficking. At a local, domestic, and international level. All over the world, we are not just responding to trafficking that is already taking place, but we are actively working on the frontlines to prevent it from happening to begin with. They employ a contextualized approach because the problem looks different everywhere we work, so does our response. They’re innovative and creative. They identify the gaps in each context and seek to fill them.

Their Reach, Rescue, and Restore programs work together to provide a comprehensive response to human trafficking. Each program has been designed to stand alone–filling critical gaps in the communities we work in without duplicating efforts. They are also committed to giving away their resources and knowledge to other groups combatting human trafficking so they all can reach a tipping point where slavery is abolished everywhere, forever. Whether it’s preventing one life from ever experiencing exploitation in the first place to walking alongside the one who has toward freedom, independence, and a better story. They are with them every step of the way.
