Compilation of books
Books by Survivors

Throughout history, every movement for justice has begun with a story that sparked a response. It was often the first jarring moment of education for the viewer/listener, one so impactful that they couldn't walk away. They couldn't lay to rest what they experienced, they were compelled to act. ⁠We've all had those moments. Fifteen years ago, our education about human trafficking came from journalists and allies who told of the horrors they had witnessed across the globe. As the anti-trafficking movement evolved, brave new voices emerged to educate and inspire us. human trafficking books human trafficking books
