An estimated 4.5 million men, women and children are trafficked for sex and labor and according to the 2018 Global Slavery Index, the top ranking areas include Southeast Asia, Middle East and North Africa.  Trafficking is often not reported, prosecuted or detected because family members, border and government officials turn a blind eye or aid in the crime.  Many become victims since they are in a cycle of extreme poverty and with the lack of education and employment opportunities, they are pressured to earn money for themselves and/or to support their families.

Kariz International wants every trafficked survivor to have a voice.  Every survivor's story matters.   We strive to create awareness, hold trafficking criminals accountable and take a step toward stopping the corruption against the impoverished and flagrant misuse of individuals in our world.  We invite you to partner with us to make a difference in their future and the future of others.
