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

Spread peace and empower lives this Christmas by helping us raise the final $70,000 of our 2024 fundraising appeal target of $350,000. Your generosity has helped ACRATH continue to offer important programs and awareness raising campaigns to support victim/survivors of human trafficking. Raising $350,000 means crucial projects, including Educating for Change and the Companionship Program, can continue.

We hope you will consider a Christmas gift to ACRATH to get us to the much needed $350,000 target. The shortfall is only $70,000, but that amount means a lot for a small organisation that receives very little government grant money and relies heavily on volunteer support around the country.

Forms of Human Trafficking

Human Trafficking is also known as modern slavery.

Victims often go willingly with their traffickers because they are being deceived about the nature and conditions of the work. Trafficking is a global phenomenon and nearly every country is a source, transit or destination (or combination of these three) for trafficked persons.
