STOP HUMAN TRAFFICKING NOW!
Freedom 4/24 & Araminta Team Up May 9th!

Human Trafficking is happening right here in Maryland! Most people think this is a problem in some other country and certainly not right here in Baltimore.

Araminta was started In October of 2010 with a desire and goal to stop the trafficking of children in Baltimore and throughout Maryland. Freedom 4/24 was started to raise awareness of the sexual exploitation of human trafficking of women and children around the world and provide financial support to partner organizations dedicated to bringing freedom and doing justice.
