- Approximately 800,000 to 900,000 victims annually are trafficked across international borders worldwide.
- Between 18,000 and 20,000 of those victims are trafficked into the U.S.
- The majority of those victims are women and girls.
The goal for the AB Women's Ministries “Break the Chains: Slavery in the 21st Century” national mission project was to raise $250,000 in 2007-2009. We exceeded our monetary goal by raising $402,000 and awarded grants in 2008, 2009 and 2010 to new American Baptist-related ministries both nationally and internationally.
The funds received have been directed to ministries that address the sexual exploitation of women and children: 50% for ministries in the U.S. & Puerto Rico, and 50% for ministries that are international.
Information about those ministries are posted on this website--you'll become familiar with what the ministries are doing and what they plan to achieve, with God's help.
Administrative expenses (accounting functions, postage, meetings, staff time) are covered by 10% of the collected funds.
