International Day of Prayer for Victims of Human Trafficking 2026

On Sunday, September 27, people all around the world will gather to pray for the victims and survivors of modern slavery and human trafficking (MSHT). This year's theme is 'Open Our Eyes', inspired by Proverbs 31:8 (NLT): 'Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves; ensure justice for those being crushed.'

Praying for those who have been trafficked is a powerful way to stand with survivors and to advocate for an end to exploitation. In this way, we walk alongside victims and survivors and give them a voice through the prayers we offer to God. 

At The Salvation Army, we believe that everyone should be able to live in peace without being exploited and we open our hearts and minds and ask the Lord to hear our prayers to protect the vulnerable throughout communities across the world.

This year, we also invite you to join our global creative prayer campaign marking the 2026 day of prayer. It's really simple. Join us by sharing your creative prayer talents!
