A Traffik Free Community is a place where there is no place for human trafficking

Slavery was made illegal in the U.S. in 1865 but the U.S State Department estimates up to 17,500 people are trafficked into America for forced labor or sex work every year.  Men, women and children have been discovered working as slaves in massage businesses, restaurants, construction, agriculture, and in homes as domestic servants.  Products of slavery can also be found in the clothes we wear and the chocolate we eat.  Traffik Free Communities, a project of Oasis USA, helps you work toward ending slavery in your community.

What does TFC do?
Abolitionists have been working to end slavery for hundreds of years.  Great progress has been made but we need you to help finish the job.  Traffik Free Communities facilitates collaboration between key stakeholders to ensure slave labor and slave goods are not a part of our communities.

How does TFC work?
Engaged citizens form a TFC group to work with eight key community stakeholders to ensure:

- Consumers are made aware of the products that contain slave labor and are empowered to take action for freedom.
- Law Enforcement personnel are equipped with the information they need to identify trafficking victims and get them the help they need.
- Local Legislatures are made aware of how strong ordinances can drive traffickers out of their cities.
- Local Businesses such as laundry mats and motels are informed about trafficking and how to report suspicious activity.
- Schools are made aware of how to protect their fellow students from being lured into sex trafficking and equipped to become advocates for freedom.
- Faith Communities become centers for prayer, advocacy and justice on behalf of the enslaved.
- The Media reports about the issue consistently and with sensitivity.
- First Responders, such as medical clinics and paramedics, have the information they need to spot a victim of trafficking and get them the help they need.
