Human Trafficking is a global human rights issue affecting almost 28 million children, women and men right now.
A fact that many do not know though is that ¾ of people being trafficked, are trafficked for labor.
Our global industry has created many advancements and opportunities for individuals and communities around the world which we are grateful for. It has also taken transparency out of our supply chains and created pathways for traffickers to easily take advantage of the poor and marginalized in our world and force them to make the products we eat and wear everyday while traffickers profit annually over $236 billion dollars.
This is the why behind our project.
We want to shed light on Labor Trafficking and bring public awareness to our communities with tangible solutions for them to put into action as soon as they leave.
This will be a full body immersive experience. We want people to feel the cotton that is picked, touch the coffee beans, eat the chocolate, hear stories of those who have been exploited, sit at a sewing machine that could make their shirt. We want to leave a memory not just in minds, but in bodies and hearts to help each person who walks through the experience to understand that trafficking is happening and we can be a part of the solution.
Join us on May 2nd between 12:30 and 4:30 to walk through the experience!
