Welcome, Virginians Against Human Trafficking!

We are an all-volunteer, grassroots community group raising awareness and taking action to end human trafficking in Virginia. Human trafficking is modern slavery, which is the economic exploitation of individuals through the use of force, fraud, and coercion. Human trafficking is sex and labor trafficking.

Come join us and explore how you can take part!

OUR MISSION
-----------------
To end slavery in Virginia by leveraging the power of the community to

1) End Demand
2) Empower and Insist on Effective Enforcement
3) Empower and Insist on Comprehensive Immigration Reform, as an ineffective immigration system can often lead to the exploitation of vulnerable populations.

We do this by

1) Educating our members and our communities
2) Taking Action
3) Raising-up leaders to duplicate the SMS model throughout Virginia and the US
