Every year, between 14,500 and 17,500 people are trafficked into this country.
In Pennsylvania alone, there were 630 calls and 275 human trafficking cases reported in 2018. The problem is real. But we are not backing down. And we know you aren’t either.
Humans should never be for sale
Along with providing immediate refuge and relief for victims, we take a holistic approach to healing, helping each client move from a state of victimized enslavement to self-sufficiency.
How we help fight for justice
The Salvation Army has long opposed the abuse of human beings, through whatever means, for the profit or gain of another. We have been on the frontlines fighting human trafficking since the time of William and Catherine Booth, who advocated to raise the legal age of consent.
We have come a long way, but the battle is far from over. Human trafficking continues to be a major yet unseen problem in the United States today and, in fact, happens right here in Western Pennsylvania.
“The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness
has not overcome it.” John 1:5
