Stop Human Trafficking in the United States and Abroad

The members of the Upsilon Lambda Omega Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. want you to join the fight against human trafficking and the effort to end this modern form of slavery. 2.5 million people are subjected to forced labor, including sexual exploitation, as a result of human trafficking. A majority of trafficking victims are ages 18-24 and an estimated 1.2 million children are victims of trafficking each year. The global annual profit resulting from human trafficking is approximately $31.6 billion. 95% of victims experience physical or sexual violence during trafficking and 43% of victims are used for forced commercial sexual exploitation. A shocking 98% of victims are women and girls and in an astounding 46% of cases, the trafficking recruiter is an acquaintance.
