Humans should never be for sale
Along with providing immediate emergency direct services for victims of human trafficking, we take a holistic approach to healing.
Donate NowThe Salvation Army of Greater Cleveland Provides a Path to Freedom for Victims of Human Trafficking.
On July 17, 2018, victims of human trafficking gained access to new hope and a safe haven for recovery with the opening of our anti-human trafficking program at Harbor Light.
Our program is designed to provide a safe and secure environment for up to 12 recovered adult survivors of human sexual trafficking. Survivors receive access to physical, emotional and spiritual healing programs, including an intensive detoxification program and life skills. Additionally, shared office space is provided for law enforcement, healthcare, and social services providers, to help assist survivors to recovery.
Our 2021 Impact: 45 human-trafficking survivors received 2,434 nights of shelter, respite and direct support.
The Salvation Army is a founding member of the Collaborative to End Human Trafficking. Founded in 2007, the Collaborative was ahead of the curve in realizing that Northeast Ohio as a region needed to address this inhumane transgression. The Collaborative’s three primary goals are: to educate, advocate and connect services on behalf of those who are trafficked.
The Salvation Army Declares War on Human Trafficking Across the Globe.
The Salvation Army is committed to fight for freedom internationally and in the United States. We collaborate with local and federal law enforcement and numerous Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) to provide comprehensive services for human trafficking victims. We are a leading NGO in the United States with over 43 locations of programs and initiatives.

Awareness Initiatives
The Salvation Army partners with local coalitions and task forces to raise public awareness and provide cross disciplinary expert training on key topics of human trafficking such as: understanding human trafficking in the United States, understanding trauma, creating trauma informed aftercare services and investigative task forces, recognizing red flags and increasing prevention. We seek to improve identification of both sex or labor trafficking in the United States and collaborate to put and end to the ongoing exploitation of children and adults across our County.
A legacy of justice
The Salvation Army has been advocacy for the rights of women, men, girls and boys, subjected to organized commercial sexual exploitation. In the 1800s, we pioneered an undercover investigation of sex trafficking, which helped shape the Criminal Law Amendment Act of 1885. By 1900, we had established over 100 "aftercare restoration homes" throughout London to abet safe escape from prostitution. More than a century later, we continue to fight for the abolition of sex trafficking worldwide.
