ALIGHT hasn't added a story.
Human trafficking is here today and it is all around us in the United States.
WATCH VIDEO: ALIGHT Executive Director Marianna Kosharovsky discuss how - with power on their side on issues ranging from financial abuse to criminal records - trafficking survivors can have a chance for stable, safe and productive lives.
We may be encountering human trafficking victims in our everyday life. While we may expect to see physical chains or black eyes, human traffickers often use more subtle and invisible methods to control, to manipulate and to defraud.
- It can be the young man that comes to your door to sell you the magazine subscription.
- It can be the women who are providing your manicure or pedicure.
- It can be the dishwasher at your favorite restaurant.
- It can even be the “housekeeper” down the street.
Human trafficking is a modern form of slavery and it occurs in all 50 states.
Young women tricked into sex trafficking through charismatic “boyfriends.”
Migrant workers tending livestock or harvesting crops are given substandard wages and living conditions.
When a human trafficking victim has the courage and opportunity to break free of his/her circumstance, that person can still face incredible challenges.
Often, that person has been forced to commit crimes. A human trafficking victim may still be married to their abuser. When they break free of this life, they need help. But often these victims of human trafficking do not know that help is available.
ALIGHT is a 501(c)(3) non-profit that unlocks a fresh start for human trafficking survivors.
We connect human trafficking survivors to lawyers that can help them with civil, criminal and family law issues. So that human trafficking survivors with a fighting chance to lead safe, stable and productive lives.
ALIGHT envisions a world where every human trafficking survivor connects to a mobilized legal network to rebuild and thrive. Support our work to rapidly match trafficking survivors with untapped legal expertise. Help survivors have a chance to lead the fulfilling lives we all deserve.
