Anti-Human Trafficking Report highlights The Salvation Army’s ‘vital’ collaborations

Since its inception, The Salvation Army has been at the forefront of the fight against human trafficking around the world, including in the Western U.S., where the organization served 183 trafficking survivors in 2023.

 

Globally, the International Labor Organization reported nearly 28 million people in forced labor situations in 2021. In the Western U.S., The Salvation Army’s efforts are supported by 13 anti-trafficking programs, bolstered by local and international partners. It’s through this collaboration, The Salvation Army can respond to provide aid in these often life-threatening situations.

 

Last year, The Salvation Army Western Territory trained nearly 2,500 individuals, to identify and respond to trafficking situations. Additionally, The Salvation Army Western Territory reached nearly 5,000 people across 139 awareness, prevention and outreach events.
