For those with PTSD and trauma responses, provide skilled counselors and healing. Give them safe spaces to process their experiences.

Approximately 28 million people are currently in slavery globally, with millions more trafficked each year. Human trafficking involves the exploitation of people through force, fraud, or coercion for labor, services, or commercial sexual exploitation. It crosses all borders and affects wealthy nations and poor nations alike. It victimizes the vulnerable—people facing poverty, discrimination, displacement, and lack of opportunity. Children are trafficked for sexual exploitation at alarming rates. Women and girls are disproportionately victimized. For believers, trafficking is a direct violation of the image of God in every person. Jesus commanded us to release the captive and free the oppressed.
Praying against human trafficking involves multiple dimensions of intercession. First, we cry out for the immediate rescue and freedom of those currently enslaved. We pray for law enforcement and rescue workers to find trafficking networks. We ask God to protect victims and expose traffickers. We intercede for the healing and restoration of survivors, whose trauma will require years of support. Simultaneously, we must pray prophetically for systemic change. We ask God to strengthen laws against trafficking, remove corrupt officials, and transform supply chains. We pray that demand for trafficked labor and commercial sexual exploitation would cease. We intercede for economic development that reduces vulnerability to trafficking, for education that protects children, and for justice systems that prosecute perpetrators.
Additionally, praying against trafficking calls us to action. We can support anti-trafficking organizations, advocate for stronger laws, educate ourselves and others, examine our consumption for trafficking connections, and report suspected trafficking. We can support survivors. We can demand that businesses verify their supply chains are slavery-free. We can engage in prevention work addressing poverty and inequality. Prayer is not a substitute for action; it's the spiritual foundation that makes sustained action possible. Prayer aligns our hearts with God's justice and awakens our sense of outrage at exploitation. Prayer transforms us into abolitionists—people committed to ending slavery permanently. When we pray against trafficking and work toward abolition, we participate in God's redemptive work to set the captives free.
Human trafficking is modern slavery—the exploitation of people through force, fraud, or coercion for labor, services, or commercial sexual exploitation. 28 million people are in slavery today. Trafficking affects both poor countries and wealthy nations, victimizing vulnerable people with deceptive promises.
Signs include: people working without pay or control, with restricted movement, appearing fearful or confused, showing signs of physical abuse, or lacking identification documents. People trafficked for sex may have excessive tattoos, appear young with older partners, or work in massage businesses or escort services.
Support anti-trafficking organizations, report suspected trafficking to authorities, educate others, advocate for stronger laws, demand ethical business practices, support survivor services, and pray consistently. Your awareness and action can help rescue people from slavery.
