Why We Run
Human trafficking and slavery is a growing global crisis. More children, women and men are held in slavery right now than over the course of the entire trans-Atlantic slave trade: Millions toil in bondage, their work and even their bodies the property of an owner.
Trafficking in humans generates profits in excess of 32 billion dollars a year for those who, by force and deception, sell human lives into slavery and sexual bondage. Nearly 2 million children are exploited in the commercial sex industry.
The International Justice Mission (IJM) is based out of Washington D.C., and works with and through the legal systems around the world to free enslaved children and girls in forced prostitution. In order for the IJM to continue liberating these children, we need your support! Aruna a Hindi word meaning 'bright morning sun', is the name of an initiative in South Asia seeking to end Commercial Sexual Exploitation by bringing freedom and restoration to the many women and children sold into the trade.
On Saturday, April 25th, you can be a part of the solution by participating in the 6th Annual Run for Justice 10K run or 5K run/walk. For every $1000 raised, someone in slavery will be freed.
