Must see Film!


Our mission is to protect women and children by raising public awareness of human trafficking and to work with other NGOs to provide housing and care for these victims in the United States and around the world.

According to the UN, over three million women and children are trafficked every year. This modern-day slavery generates a $32 billion industry yearly for international criminals.



Vision

Our two-fold goals are: to prevent human trafficking and modern day slavery.  We plan to help those who have already been victimized. By creating a  public awareness campaign, we will generate awareness of the crime and raise funds that build safe havens where victims can live after being rescued.

Who we are

Innocents at Risk is a child-advocacy non-for-profit 501C-3 organization established to fight child trafficking through awareness programs aimed at educating the public of these crimes. We have established a public-private partnership with the United States Department of State to support our battle. We are also working together with the NGO’s.

What we are doing

We have produced a 10-minute public service DVD to support the awareness campaign about human trafficking. The video is available to embassies and corporations in the U.S. and around the world in order to further our goals of education and awareness. This original video is intended as a wake-up call to those who are unaware of this threat and to the millions of innocents who are most vulnerable.  We are producing brochures and posters for educational awareness to be placed in schools and public locations for the purpose of prevention of trafficking along with a 8-10 minute DVD for schools in the U.S.

2009 Goals and Activities

1- We are launching domestic and international public awareness and campaigns to educate the public of modern day slavery. We are distrubting our awareness film to conference corporations.

2-We are producing an additional DVD/film for schools.

3- We are establishing a victims fund that will be used to support efforts to provide safe housing, medical assistance and other life sustaining necessities for victims after being rescued.

Current Efforts and long term:

  • Arrange awareness events through the US and abroad for schools (students and parents), churches, embassies, elected officials, and leaders of the community.

    • Help build the DC task force (group of NGOs) to find safe homes for victims
    • Help provide skills training and education.
  • Help secure one or more facilities in Washington, DC for children and women needing somewhere to live when they have first been rescued. 

Currently Active

Partcipating in the DC task force with Mayor Fenty's office, the DC Attorney General's office, the Ricky Martin Foundation, the Polaris Group, CNI and other NGO's with the goal to end Modern Day Slavery.

To see but to deny.
To see but not to act is a crime against a child.

You can make a difference.
Save a child."
