Fighting Human Trafficking
Standing against modern slavery and exploitation in all its forms
Our Commitment to End Human Trafficking
Human trafficking is a grave violation of human dignity and fundamental rights. It represents modern-day slavery that affects millions of people worldwide, including countless victims in Africa. JPIC-FA is committed to combating this heinous crime through awareness, prevention, victim support, and advocacy for stronger laws and enforcement.
⚠️ Human Trafficking is Happening Now
Human trafficking affects people of all ages, genders, and backgrounds. It includes forced labor, sexual exploitation, domestic servitude, forced marriage, and organ trafficking. Victims are often lured with false promises of employment, education, or better lives, only to find themselves trapped in situations of exploitation.

Children forced into labor, armed conflict, begging, criminal activities, or sexual exploitation.
Forced Marriage
Individuals forced into marriage without their consent, often involving exploitation and abuse.
Organ Trafficking
Illegal removal of organs from victims through force, coercion, or deception for transplantation or sale.
