Join the Fight
Fight against the trafficking and exploitation of people in our community, and raise awareness about this issue happening in the Chicagoland area and around the world.
The Anti-Human Trafficking Ministry exists to raise awareness about the issue of human trafficking as well as fight against exploitation of people in the Chicagoland area through training, collaboration and mobilization.
Educational and Serving Events
- Learn from guest speakers, movie screenings, trainings and panel discussions, which focus on local human trafficking, so you can be a better advocate for victims of trafficking.
- Help meet the needs of our partner organizations, who serve those who have been victimized by trafficking.
- Several serving events are planned throughout the year, with opportunities such as assembling gift bags, packing Christmas gifts and collecting needed items for women recovering from the trauma of trafficking.
