Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul and the Office of Migration & Modern Day Slavery
In 2012, the Daughters of Charity in the U.S. and Canada adopted a united stance in support of human rights and in opposition to human trafficking for the purpose of sexual exploitation and forced labor.
The Daughters, convinced that awareness raising and activism are crucial pillars to ending human trafficking, work daily to compel others to take action. How? The Daughters of Charity's Office of Migration and Modern Day Slavery galvanizes community members to become agents of change through small but powerful acts of advocacy. An excellent way to become familiar with their work and to become part of the solution is to review their website: JUST FREEDOM

Find statistics, warning signs, myths, reports, and examples of what You can do to make a difference.
