  • Providing support and services for victims of human trafficking, including medical care, counseling, legal assistance, and safe housing.
  • Working with law enforcement agencies and governments to investigate and prosecute traffickers and to rescue and protect victims.
  • Partnering with businesses and organizations to create ethical supply chains and to prevent trafficking in their operations.
  • Engaging with communities and grassroots organizations to address the root causes of trafficking and to empower people to take action to prevent it.

Overall, the efforts to end human trafficking involve a combination of legal, social, and economic approaches, and require the participation and cooperation of governments, civil society, and the private sector.
