The Salvation Army is committed to ending modern slavery and human (MSHT) trafficking around the world. Since the launch of the Canada and Bermuda territorial / national Fight for Freedom MSHT Response Strategy, we continue to see more and more ministry units and people wanting to know how to get involved while being equipped and empowered to do so.
