Working together to prevent abuse, exploitation and trafficking on a global scale

To achieve our goals and prevent abuse, exploitation and trafficking, we work in collaboration and partnership with strategic stakeholders, such as high-profile sporting athletes and the travel and tourism industry (including airlines, hotels, and transportation companies). We also work with sporting governing bodies/hosting committees, NGOs, governments, and corporates, who all want to see human trafficking eradicated.
