*Two million children are exploited every year in the global commercial sex trade.     

        *Human trafficking is the fastest growing crime in our world today, an annual $150B industry.

        *Between 14,500 and 17,500 people are trafficked in the U.S each year.

The Barefoot Mile reminds us how effective our community can be when we join together for a common cause: freedom and hope for trafficked children, teens, and young women. Since JOY International began fighting the evil of human trafficking, we have empowered teams to succeed in rescues around the world. Thousands of children, teens and young women now live in freedom from bondage with new life in the present and hope for a brighter future.
