2021 Abilene Walk for Freedom

On October 16, 2021, tens of thousands of people will gather all over the world for Beyond Trafficking's Colaboration with A21's  3rd annual fundraising and awareness event, Walk For Freedom. Walks will take place in over 450 cities across 50 countries raising awareness for the millions enslaved across the globe.

Walk For Freedom is operated by a global anti-human trafficking organization, A21. The event is a global

response to human trafficking—reaching millions with the important message: that slavery still exists. By

fundraising and rallying thousands of people around the cause, the hope is that awareness would spread and

lead to the rescue and restoration of human beings who are being exploited.

Participants will be walking in single-file lines all over the world—in local towns, through busy intersections

and city centers, on dirt tracks in crowded villages, along bridges, tunnels, and water banks. Hundreds of

local walks will be marching for a global end to modern-day slavery.

Millions enslaved.

$150 billion industry.

1% ever rescued.

“There is so much power in gathering together, in showing up in force,

and saying, ‘There are more of us against slavery than for it.’”

—Christine Caine, A21 Co-Founder
