WATCH: A global event to rally and equip people everywhere
A live broadcast, rallying tens of thousands against human trafficking, is coming to you.
Residents are invited to join a global summit against human trafficking on World Day Against Trafficking on October 17.
On this day, global anti-trafficking organisation A21 is calling people everywhere to take action against human trafficking. While the action steps may look different this year, the mission is still the same – to abolish modern-day slavery everywhere, forever.
On October 17 tens of thousands will gather all over the world to tune into A21’s first Global Freedom Summit, a one-day social justice event to equip, train and mobilise people to play their part in abolishing modern-day slavery right where they are.
Because now more than ever, many are vulnerable to trafficking and people still need protection. The millions who are being exploited still need a way out and those who have experienced abuse still need restoration.
The day will be two-fold: starting with a one-hour live broadcast, participants will learn from the frontline and global leaders in the social justice space, including A21 founder and CEO Nick Caine, global A21 advocate Christine Caine and A21 COO Phil Hyldgaard, as well as A21’s frontline staff in over 13 countries across the globe.
Then participants will be given tangible action steps they can take right away to start ending human trafficking in their community.

“We are convinced that if we do this together, if we keep showing up, if we continue to be tenacious, if we continue to have grit, if we continue to not bow down to discouragement, but step up and show up with strength, numbers, courage and faith, then we will see slavery eradicated in our lifetime,” said Caine.
A21 works in 18 different locations in 13 countries across the globe.
