WHY DOES EXPLOITATION INCREASE AT CHRISTMAS?

As a long-time STOP THE TRAFFIK supporter, you know that human trafficking is a criminal business. Put simply, when demand increases – supply increases.

During this festive season, labour exploitation, child criminal exploitation, sexual exploitation, and county lines all rise amidst the demand for gifts, increase in travel, and increase in cash flow.

Unfortunately, our intelligence shows a devastating truth: children are being targeted younger than ever before. The average age of grooming and recruitment in the UK has dropped from 16 to just 13, and we are now seeing victims as young as six.

Everyone deserves to feel the safety and love of the holidays, and children should certainly feel that year-round.

3 DAYS LEFT!

Thanks to your incredible generosity, we’ve now reached our match-funding target — but the campaign is far from over.

Every pound we raise above this year’s target strengthens our case to secure even greater match funding next year. That means bigger matched pots, bigger impact, and the ability to protect even more people from exploitation.

So your support is still absolutely vital.

Let’s make freedom a reality for everyone.

THANKS TO YOU, WE BELIEVE THE WORLD CAN BE DIFFERENT

We have a model to prevent exploitation. And it’s working.

In 2024, we helped an average of eight people every day avoid exploitation. In the spirit of the season, the Big Give offers the perfect moment to support our lifesaving work.

We are ready to scale our model, and we need your help.
