There are currently 27 million enslaved people worldwide- more than double the number of enslaved Africans during the trans-Atlantic slave trade. UNICEF estimates that 1.2 million children every year are sold into slavery, most of it sexual. The US Department of Justice estimates 16,000 victims of human trafficking are brought into the United States every year.
We're a group of Web Comic Creators, who have come together, volunteering our artistic talents to raise money for the purpose of ending human trafficking in the world today.
That is a big goal and an extremely worthwile cause! At last tally, over $5,000 had been raised! To find out more or to donate, visit the CCA website. (You also get a really cool wallpaper background for donating any amount.)
