Applying to REACH

Why REACH, and why now?

The name REACH is used to reflect UNIAP’s attempt to “reach out” to the world to empower those interested in playing an active role in the solution to human exploitation and slavery, from wherever they may be.

And why now? Because people are profiting from the deception, control, and exploitation of other people, and this abhorrent crime must be stopped. Counter-trafficking sees successes every day, and victims are reached and assisted every day, but counter-trafficking responders are particularly challenged by cross-regional human trafficking: not enough information is being systematically collected, analyzed, and exchanged; and, language difficulties challenge intelligence gathering, networking, and communication and assistance to trafficked persons.

Clearly, human trafficking between Asia and Europe, Africa, Australia, the Middle East, and America is significant: it is a crime tha links us all together. We only have to reach out to each other to work together to help stop it.
