Christmas is a special time. The gifts we give express our love for the people closest to us, yet they often come with a hidden cost. Right now, 28+ million people are trapped in forced labour, being exploited to make clothes, technology, chocolate, jewellery, and more. This Christmas, help us prevent human trafficking so that, one day, we can live in a world where gifts are free from exploitation.

Situation
Every year, 50 million people are enslaved and trafficked. One in three is a child, and the majority are women and girls. Of these, 21 million are victims of forced labour. As our patron, Cherie Blair (CBE), shared, “Exploitation is not something happening far away; it is embedded right here in British businesses.” Human trafficking is often hidden in plain sight—in care homes, car washes, construction sites, and in everyday products we depend on, like our favourite jeans, smartphones, and wedding rings.
Solution
At STOP THE TRAFFIK, we believe that prevention is better than cure. For the last 20 years, we have harnessed the power of data and technology to disrupt human trafficking. We work to protect at-risk communities from exploitation, equip businesses with strategies to prevent exploitation within their supply chains, and disrupt money flows thereby undermining the traffickers’ ability to make profit. This Christmas, ‘Unwrap the Truth’ and support our work in the following three ways: 1. Donate Generously 2. Shop Ethically 3. Share Loudly
