Saint Nicholas of Myra - the real guy - was famous for giving gifts to children to save them from slavery.

Today, human trafficking is a $150 billion global business. It is both low risk and high profit for criminals and it is happening every day, affecting thousands of children. The heinous crime is hidden in plain sight across supply chains, financial institutions and where we live and work.

This Christmas r/Christianity is supporting STOP THE TRAFFIK, to tackle this horrific industry by trying to make it harder for traffickers to operate.

STOP THE TRAFFIK is a coalition of Christian, government and non-government organisations that run awareness campaigns, research projects and training sessions to help people better understand how trafficking works, making it more difficult for traffickers to recruit people. They work with organisations to help them identify risks of trafficking in their supply chains, arm small businesses with the tools to mitigate risks of trafficking in their operations, and work with banks and financial institutions, equipping them with the skills and knowledge to help prevent traffickers from moving the proceeds of crime and identify suspicious activity.
