Abstract
Faith-motivated individuals and faith-based organizations (FBOs) have been instrumental in mitigating the effects of human trafficking in the USA from the beginning of the nineteenth century to the present day. This chapter will examine some of the sacred texts that motivate adherents of Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and Baha’i to engage in anti-trafficking work. Historic examples of faith-motivated individuals and organizations are presented, via the socioecological model, to provide context and greater understanding of the contemporary anti-trafficking efforts of FBOs. Finally, opportunities to improve the faith-based contribution to the anti-trafficking movement are discussed. Among these, increased collaboration among FBOs and other anti-trafficking organizations to collect important data about promising interventions will contribute to the development of evidence-based best practices.
