Why We Need Hope
Human slavery is not a history lesson. Right now, many women, children and men are trafficked -- forced or manipulated into service -- for work or prostitution. It is estimated that 49.6 million people are currently enslaved worldwide, more than the entire population of Canada. Find out more.
Hope is our action plan to end modern slavery, because everyone deserves freedom to hope. Check out our Hope Parent Training Video located on the DMK for more information.
