Saturday (19 October) abolitionists all over the world will come together to shine a spotlight on human trafficking for A21\u2019s 10th Walk For Freedom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Locals are invited to take part in the annual walk, which serves as a collective effort led by A21, a global anti-human trafficking organisation dedicated to abolishing slavery everywhere, forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The A21 Walk For Freedom is a global response to human trafficking, rallying 10s of thousands of people in cities around the world to fundraise and walk for the millions enslaved today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A21 combats modern-day slavery through a multi-dimensional approach by educating vulnerable communities, identifying victims, and supporting survivors. Walk For Freedom is an integral part of the effort to reach the vulnerable and prevent human trafficking from ever happening in the first place. Walkers from Stellenbosch and its surrounds simply have to register online and join the walk taking place at 09:00 at the Coetzenburg Stadium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier this month reports of a suspected human trafficker made headlines, after the Hawks swooped in on a residence in Kraaifontein. Four women, suspected to have been victims of trafficking, were found in an apartment. A21\u2019s hosts are rallying communities and taking action. The event is not a protest, but a silent, single-file walk on behalf of the millions of men, women and children who are trapped in slavery today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
