It's staggering. 49.6 million people are trapped in modern-day slavery worldwide. 12 million of them are children. But why? The sickening answer is, at least largely, for profit.
Human trafficking generates over $236 billion every year. That's roughly the size of the economy of Kansas, and one of the largest criminal economies in the world. What's worse, profits from trafficking soared more than 436% over the last decade, and will continue on unless we take bold action.
At Aerial Recovery, we will continue our mission:
Prevention Programs: educate communities on how to recognize and stop human trafficking before it starts. Teaching parents about digital safety, helping young people identify manipulation tactics, and raising awareness about common recruitment methods all save potential victims from ever experiencing exploitation.
Operations & Training: deploy highly trained teams of Humanitarian Special Operators to conducting missions worldwide and provide intelligence, digital forensics, and training for host-nation law enforcement to continue the fight long after individual operations conclude.
Aftercare: provide trauma-informed support for survivors, helping those who have endured horrific abuse begin their healing journey with dignity, resources, and hope for restoration.
Every aspect of this work requires financial support from those who believe freedom is worth fighting for. During National Human Trafficking Awareness Month, consider how your contribution can directly impact rescue operations, prevention education, or survivor aftercare programs.
Please consider making your contribution now! Together, we can Save Lives & Stop Evil.
