Here are a few of the many organizations that combat human trafficking and other human rights violations:

The Interntaional Justice Mission

The Interntaional Justice Mission is a human rights agency that secures justice for victims of slavery, sexual exploitation and other forms of violent oppression. IJM lawyers, investigators and aftercare professionals work with local governments to ensure immediate victim rescue, to prosecute perpetrators and to strengthen the community and civic factors that promote functioning public justice systems. Read about my experience at IJM’s 2010 Global Prayer Gathering.

Not for Sale Campaign

Not For Sale is a Campaign of students, artists, entrepreneurs, people of faith, athletes, law enforcement officers, politicians, social workers, skilled professionals, and all justice seekers united to fight the global slave trade and end human trafficking. The Campaign aims to recruit, educate, and mobilize an international grassroots social movement that effectively combats human trafficking and slavery through “Smart Activism”. It deploys innovative solutions for every individual to re-abolish slavery — in their own backyards and across the globe.

Californians Against Slavery

UPDATE: CAS is still collecting ballot signatures through June 15, 2010. If you are registered to vote in CA, please sign the petition and mail it in!
 
CAS has created a ballot initiative that would deter traffickers with stiffer criminal penalties, aid district attorneys in prosecution, increase protection for victims, and mandate human trafficking training for law enforcement officers. CAS needs a million petition signatures to get this initiative on the 2012 ballot.

The SOLD Project

Our mission is to prevent child prostitution through culturally relevant programs for vulnerable children and to share their stories to empower creative, compassionate people to act.
