Human Trafficking Can No Longer Live In The Shadows

The Lantern Project is fighting this war on all fronts…and it is a war of unimaginable proportions.

Human trafficking and exploitation – including sex trafficking, forced labor, and debt bondage – is the fastest growing criminal activity worldwide.

Men, women, and children are subjected to trafficking and exploitation for sex work, pornography, forced domestic and agricultural labor, organ harvesting, surrogacy, ova harvesting, and debt slavery.

The Lantern Project Empowers You To Fight Back

"I am so glad we completed The Lantern training. The course was easy to complete, and the videos were engaging and enlightening on the issue of trafficking.

Lantern Stations

A light in every window

Did you know that less than 1% of trafficking victims are identified once trafficked [US Justice Dept.]? Much like the fight against slavery, we need a modern day underground railroad, a network of lanterns to guide people home. 

A Lantern Station is an organization that has taken the step to invest in the local community and in its own team by educating and training it’s own staff to protect themselves, their families and those own there own doorstep.
