FOR THE 50
Did you know? There are almost 50 million people – men, women and children – trapped in modern slavery around the world today. That’s 1 in every 150 people.
The official figure, 49.6 million, is likely to be a vast underestimate because this is a hidden crime. Hope for Justice has launched a new campaign to raise awareness and raise money to bring freedom For The 50.
Our For The 50 campaign coincides with World Day Against Trafficking in Persons on 30th July, which is organised annually by the United Nations. The day was designated by the United Nations General Assembly in 2013 to “raise awareness of the situation of victims of human trafficking and for the promotion and protection of their rights.”
Their focus for 2024 is the urgent need to end child trafficking. A total of 1 in 3 victims of human trafficking globally is a child.
We want to bring freedom to every single one of the men, women and children who are being exploited.

Use both hands – make a fist with one hand and show five fingers on the other. Then, ask someone to take a photo and share this on social media. This is a symbol to show you’re standing up for the 50 million people in modern slavery. We’re encouraging you to share the image with the hashtag #ForThe50
