Save this post so you know what to look for and where to report suspicious scenarios. Not sure what indicators of trafficking to look out for? Visit A21.org/KnowTheSigns to learn more. Knowing the signs is one thing, but being equipped to make a report if you suspect you’ve seen human trafficking take place is vital.

Thanks to the Lemonade community, we will be receiving $21,652 as a part of the Lemonade Giveback 2024. Every dollar will be used to fund our 24/7 national human trafficking hotlines in Greece, Bulgaria, and South Africa. These hotlines play a vital role in our efforts to identify and recover victims caught in exploitation. When we work together, the impact is so much greater. The general public is being equipped to make a potentially life-saving report. More victims are identified and assisted to safety. More traffickers are being convicted. And more survivors are receiving personalized support on their journey to restoration and independence. #LemonadeGiveback

You never know the ripple effect Walk for Freedom will have. All you have to do is take the first step. We won’t be in your city without you. Sign up to host a walk on Saturday, October 19th. ➡️ A21.org/Host
