Description

About

Stop Trafficking of People (STOP) is a South African non-profit dedicated to combating human trafficking through awareness, advocacy, prevention, and survivor support. Working nationally and in local communities, STOP partners with law enforcement, schools, faith groups, and civil society to break cycles of exploitation and restore dignity to those affected.

Why this matters

Human trafficking is one of the fastest-growing crimes worldwide, and South Africa is both a source and transit country. STOP addresses this crisis by providing education, mobilising communities, supporting survivors, and driving systemic change to protect vulnerable individuals.
