Abstract

Human trafficking is a horrific crime against people and is unfortunately a widespread crime in the United States, as well as abroad. Trafficked persons need support to safely exit their exploitive situations. The Salvation Army has a long history of speaking out against and actively battling against human trafficking throughout the world, committing to fight for the rights of humans to be free from exploitation. The STOP-IT program in Chicago, Illinois, is collaborating with local partners to provide timely and comprehensive services to survivors of human trafficking as well as to support their exit from exploitation and a life after leaving. By providing outreach and training to the local community of professionals, the STOP-IT program is receiving regular referrals of trafficked persons.
