The Fight in Delaware

The Salvation Army has a long history and mission of fighting the dehumanizing horrors of human trafficking, both internationally and domestically.
We are part of this fight in the state of Delaware. Advocates from many disciplines are forming alliances to fight this heinous crime. These include law enforcement, attorneys, the medical community and providers of basic human services to help these victims become survivors.
