Event information
Local Cape Town residents join tens of thousands of people around the globe to participate in anti-human trafficking nonprofit A21’s 10th annual awareness and fundraising event, Walk for Freedom.
With over 49.6 million people trapped in human trafficking worldwide, this urgent crisis affects adults and children across every continent, often hidden in plain sight. In response, community members from Cape Town are stepping up to confront this issue directly.
As the world’s largest anti-human trafficking walk, this initiative spans hundreds of cities across dozens of countries, raising awareness and mobilising communities in the fight against modern-day slavery. Each step taken amplifies the fight for freedom, marking millions of strides toward ending human trafficking.
This year’s Walk for Freedom in Cape Town begins and ends at Maker’s Landing at the V&A Waterfront, with participants walking in a single-file line, carrying posters and distributing flyers with information to help others spot the signs of human trafficking.
By the end of the walk, attendees leave equipped with local hotline numbers, victim identification tips, and reporting procedures—key tools in the ongoing fight to combat this crime.
