Creating a network of
modern-day abolitionists and
using a living systems approach
to address human trafficking
|
 |
The Abolitionist Network helps abolitionists understand the complex systems of human trafficking—the illegal trade of human beings who are bought and sold into forced labor and sexual exploitation—through learning, connecting, equipping, and refreshing.
What we do
We provide...
-
Learning teams and research to understand the systems of trafficking and pursue effective application of tools and resources to end slavery.
-
Trainings and coaching to equip abolitionists, coalitions, churches, and the broader community to understand their part in the movement
-
Networking online and in person to connect abolitionists locally, nationally and internationally
-
Retreats of rest and refreshment for leaders in the movement, to build healthy community in the movement, and support a lifestyle of living generously.
Why we do it
Millions of men, women and children are still bought and sold into forced labor and sexual exploitation around the world today. The efforts to combat this atrocity--called human trafficking--are too often scattered and lack an understanding of the whole complex systemic context. The leaders in the movement soon get isolated, overwhelmed and discouraged.
The complexity of what perpetuates human trafficking must be addressed in the global context of criminal behavior, economic corruption and other forms of trafficking and exploitation. From a global lense, we must develop effective ways to engage these systems, and the structures that support them, for positive change.
