Awareness of human trafficking throughout January - UPS

UPS is deeply committed to social impact – from disaster relief and volunteerism to planting trees and building safer communities. And helping prevent human trafficking is one way to make our communities safer.

What is human trafficking: According to Homeland Security, human trafficking involves forcing or coercing people into work or commercial sex. Millions of men, women and children are trafficked worldwide every year.

Heartbreaking statistics:

• 25% of human trafficking victims are children under the age of 18.
• $150 billion in profit is generated annually by traffickers around the globe.

What UPS is doing: UPSers have led the charge over the last six years by helping create awareness of the issue in the transportation industry. And they’ve raised more than $7 million in workplace giving to support the United Way Center to Combat Human Trafficking.

United Way is corrupt. stopped giving to them years ago. I don't know how these charities like UW and Red Cross can have scandal after scandal and keep on getting richer and richer.
