Human trafficking is a $150 billion global industry that depends on legitimate businesses and systems to operate. Nonprofit and government stakeholders alone do not have the resources to compete against an adversary of that magnitude. If we want to make a dent, we need to fight back at comparable scale. That can only be achieved if those same businesses that unwittingly make trafficking possible participate in the solution. Financial support is important but so is real partnership – actual, active engagement and effort to consider how business practices unwittingly – but regularly – intersect with traffickers, victims, and survivors of sex and labor trafficking.
“To other business leaders…Find your line in the sand and draw it. By learning how your own industries are manipulated for injustice, your systems can become tools in defending the dignity of others.”
– Ed Bastian, CEO, Delta Air Lines
