But we live in world where slavery is on the rise. Modern slavery includes forced labour, debt bondage, forced marriage and human trafficking. In these situations, people cannot refuse or leave because of threats, violence, coercion and abuse of power.
Hagar’s work is rooted in the belief that every individual deserves freedom, dignity and a life free of exploitation.
As global leaders in Trauma Informed Care, we specialise in survivor care, prevention and ground-up policy change.
We started in Cambodia in 1994, and since more than 60% of trafficking originates in Asia and the Pacific, we continue to focus our efforts in that region. Our global programmes are led by skilled local teams and implementing partners.
