    The organization that I feel is doing the most to end human trafficking worldwide is Shared Hope International. website https://sharedhope.org/. I have support them for a number of years. They have restoration homes of Hope in Asia countries for rescued children to heal and grow. This organizational I believe does more and is better and should be promoted and funded before Intl Justice Mission.
