What is Global Free Them 5k?
More than 50 million people are currently trapped in modern day slavery, and more are trafficked every day. But if we partner together, we can prevent human trafficking. In just 6 months World Concern reached almost 87,000 children, women, and men with training and equipping to prevent human trafficking and protect entire communities.
When you register for the Global (virtual) Free Them 5k on July 27th you will join people from all over the world to prevent this modern-day slavery.
The money you fundraise will be used to train communities in the dangers of trafficking, teach children their rights, give them safe after-school care, and provide youth with skills to earn a living wage.
How You'll Help
Traffickers prey on children and youth living in extreme poverty. Every dollar you raise will be used for prevention programs that bring awareness of the lies that traffickers use to lure victims, the dangers of illegal emigration, the rights of children, the dangers of child marriage, and practical ways to keep children and youth safe.
Where You'll Help
You will protect children, youth, and women in corridors of trafficking—the poorest, most vulnerable and overlooked villages in Asia. These areas are often that are located near porous borders where traffickers can easily cross with victims. When you give, members of these communities will be empowered with knowledge to prevent traffickers and connected to authorities for help should a child or youth be trafficked.
