1. Not For Sale -http://notforsalecampaign.org/
To break the cycle of exploitation, Not For Sale provides survivors and at-risk communities with shelter, healthcare, and legal services, first attending to the most basic needs of individuals who have suffered extreme trauma. We are dedicated to addressing the profound and enduring effects of violence and exploitation. Only once their physical and emotional wellbeing is established can we begin to work together toward long-term opportunities for education and employment.
2. theTrade Foundation https://www.supportthetrade.org/?gclid=COzXv7bIxcMCFQ7KtAodNn8AJw
The Trade Foundation exists to fight global sexual slavery and exploitation by teaching women how to cut & style hair. This training establishes micro economies, which allow women to leave behind lives of prostitution, abuse, and extreme poverty. The social and economic impact is absolutely life changing as they develop a new set of skills as well as the sense of dignity and self respect that comes with them. In addition to hair & make-up instruction, we train our students how to run a small business and add value to their surrounding communities.

Stop Girl Trafficking - The problem is huge. Every year, as many as 20,000 girls from the poorest parts of Nepal are trafficked – lured by the false promises of traffickers. These girls, some as young as nine, end up in Indian brothels or as domestic servants in countries as far away as the Middle East. In either case, they’re slaves. Many are HIV positive within two years, and dead before they reach twenty.
Their approach: The way we combat this modern-day slavery is revolutionary – and surprisingly effective …We go to the source, into the villages where girls are at risk, and put those girls into school. We counsel them and their families about the dangers of trafficking. By keeping at-risk girls in school and living at home, they are less vulnerable to being sold or lured by promises of jobs, only to find themselves in brothels or trapped as slaves in households. For a small investment – $100 pays for everything: school fees, books, school uniforms, tutoring – we can keep a girl safe for whole year. Persuading families to educate their daughters was slow going at first, but 10,000 girls later – without one being lost – the idea is gaining traction.
