What We Do

TRAINING

Educating citizens about the reality of sex trafficking and labor trafficking in North Carolina is imperative to creating communities actively working to abolish human trafficking. Without training in identifying a potential victim, people won’t be equipped to call the National Human Trafficking Hotline (1-888-3737-888) with suspicions. We also train professionals working in the fields of law enforcement, health care, education, victim assistance services, counselors, child advocates and the judicial system.

COLLABORATIONS & COALITIONS

Community members, agencies and organizations must come together to combat human trafficking locally. Human trafficking is a multi-faceted and complex issue that takes a network of service providers and advocates to come together to provide wraparound services to victims, improve community engagement and prevent human trafficking as a whole in neighborhoods. For this reason, we provide development assistance so communities can develop their own coalitions to combat human trafficking.

FAIR TRADE

Our global effort to combat human trafficking is introducing fair trade into the local markets. We put our money wear our mouth is and sell fair trade certified products through our Fair Traders Project program. All the money we make from selling fair trade products go right back to our community programs. We also advocate for people to look for that fair trade certified label. When more people demand ethically made products, companies will follow suit and change their exploitative business practices.
