HUMAN TRAFFICKING: Dedication and money rescue victims but bullshit costs lives

Volunteers and donors are the support and lifeblood of organizations that rescue, rehabilitate and repatriate trafficked women, children and men … yes, men … but they're also the cause of ulcers, sleepless nights and unfinished work, which means lives are at stake.

The dedicated staff of anti-trafficking organizations spend not just hours, but often months and years looking for and finding trafficked humans. They then attempt to rescue them, support them during the legal proceedings to bring the traffickers to justice, and assist them with reintegration into their communities. They put their own lives at risk to rescue others.
