This Christmas, as we exchange gifts with loved ones, it's easy to overlook the hidden human cost woven into so many of them. Right now, 28 million people are trapped in forced labour, exploited to create the clothes we wear, the chocolate we enjoy, and the jewellery we treasure. For these individuals, Christmas isn’t a time of joy but of suffering. 

At STOP THE TRAFFIK, we believe that together, we can stop human trafficking in its tracks. For 20 years, we’ve used cutting-edge data and technology to: 
 

• Prevent vulnerable people from exploitation through geo-targeted social media campaigns that deliver life-saving safety information. 

• Equip businesses to root out exploitation in their supply chains, ensuring the products we buy are free from abuse. 

• Disrupt the profits of traffickers by working with financial institutions to trace and close illicit accounts. 
   

With your help, we can do even more. 

This year, through our Big Give Christmas Campaign—Unwrap the Truth—we need to raise £40,000. Every donation will be matched by a generous champion, doubling your impact at no extra cost! With this support, we can expand our work to protect more vulnerable individuals and at-risk communities and disrupt the criminal networks that profit from others’ suffering. 

• Our campaigns have reached 25 million people in the last decade, preventing over 3,150 individuals from falling into slavery in the past two years alone. 

• With £40,000, we could launch a global prevention programme in a region where our help is urgently needed. 

• Your support allows us to stay flexible, using intelligence to respond to the most pressing human trafficking threats. 

How You Can Help: 
 

1. Donate Generously: Every pound you give via The Big Give is matched, doubling your impact.
