Our mission is to eliminate human trafficking and the harm it causes.

Join us on Sunday, 13 July 2025, for Run Melbourne and help us support our mission to eliminate human trafficking and modern slavery.

Why Run? It’s estimated that 41,000 people in Australia and 50 million worldwide are trapped in modern slavery *. Behind each statistic is a person at the heart of ACRATH’s (Australian Catholic Religious Against Trafficking in Humans) work. With your support, we advocate, educate, and walk alongside victim/survivors.
