What’s A21?

A21 is a global non-profit organisation that is determined to eradicate human trafficking in the 21st century.

What do they provide?

There are 3 programmes - Reach, Rescue & Restore.

The Reach strategy focuses on educating and equipping the general public to understand, identify, and reduce the risk of human trafficking through education curriculum, prevention materials, and awareness campaigns.

One of the campaigns is Walk for Freedom and we will be holding our 5th Bournemouth Walk for Freedom in 2023! 

Rescue 

Partnering with authorities to secure the freedom of victims and the convictions of human traffickers through programmes like hotlines, child advocacy centres, identification training and legal support. 

Restore

Empowering survivors of human trafficking on their unique journey toward restoration and independence through programs like holistic after care, safe accommodation and relocation services.
