Catholic Relief Services (CRS) is pleased to announce a new partnership with Mission 14, an organization focused on ending human trafficking.
By working together, CRS and Mission 14 will address this worldwide problem that affects an estimated 35.8 million people. Mission 14 Human Trafficking Awareness Month has more about their human trafficking initiative and partnership with Catholic Relief Services:
There are more people in slavery today than at any point in human history. It is estimated that 35.8 million people worldwide are victims of human trafficking, and that 1 in 5 of those enslaved are children. Mission 14®, a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit, seeks to bring global awareness to the cruelties of human trafficking and its worst form - the trafficking of children. This atrocity can only be tackled by a monumental action, and Mission 14 is prepared to do just that by attempting to break a mountain climbing world record in 2015.
