50 million people around the world are currently living in slavery.
Even one person in slavery, one woman being beaten, or one girl forced into early marriage is one too many.
Hagar is committed to addressing the urgent and critical needs of survivors of human trafficking.
Many individuals who have endured human trafficking, abuse and slavery, suffer from deep psychological, emotional, and physical scars. Without effective intervention, survivors face an elevated risk of re-exploitation and may resort to destructive behaviours to cope with their pain.
In a world where an estimated 50 million people are trapped in modern slavery, Hagar recognises the urgent need to support vulnerable communities that are disproportionately affected by this pervasive issue. Poverty, displacement, conflict, climate change, limited awareness, and inadequate support systems contribute to the perpetuation of human trafficking cycles, leaving survivors without proper assistance. Hagar understands the dire circumstances faced by these individuals and is committed to providing them with the necessary care and resources they need to rebuild their lives.
Slavery and human trafficking have become deeply embedded in our globalised society, infiltrating various industries and perpetuating cycles of trauma and despair for survivors. Hagar's existence is driven by the realisation that the overwhelming majority of survivors receive minimal or no support to heal and rebuild their lives. By offering comprehensive services, such as safe accommodations, healthcare, education, legal awareness, and psychological counselling, Hagar empowers survivors to overcome their past and embrace a future filled with hope and opportunity.
Through our unwavering dedication, Hagar strives to break the chains of exploitation and cycle of abuse. We not only provide vital support to survivors but also work tirelessly to address the root causes of human trafficking through prevention efforts and systems change. By advocating for awareness, implementing preventive measures, and fostering sustainable change, Hagar is determined to create a world where individuals are free from the clutches of slavery and can live their lives with dignity, resilience, and independence.
