We are Together with Love

Our Story

Together With Love was formed in 2017 as a group of people with a passionate reaction to learning about the global and local existence of sex trafficking. We were and are horrified by the inhumane treatment of vulnerable people who are tricked into an impossible situation, with no safe options for escape. We are deeply concerned to protect children from this life and to care for people in these circumstances.
