Allied Universal, the world’s renowned corporate services company, has announced its continued commitment to preventing human trafficking, by partnering with The Teen Project - a non-profit organisation that is dedicated to providing healing and hope to young women, who have survived human trafficking and homelessness.
Human trafficking involves the use of force, fraud or coercion to receive involuntary labour or services. According to the International Labour Organization (ILO), the United Nations estimates that human trafficking generates US$ 150 billion in profit worldwide each year, and sadly, the issue is getting worse. It plagues every country, and the United States is one of the top destinations for victims of human trafficking.

Steve Jones, the Global Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) at Allied Universal, said “As leaders of security and safety in our communities, we need to be on high alert regarding the impact human trafficking is causing on people and countries around the world.”
Steve Jones adds, “Our local presence provides us a unique vantage point to possibly save lives, by knowing about this issue, the warning signs and taking action. Due to our partnership with the Teen Project, we will be able to work together to make a difference.”
Developing comprehensive training and educational tools
As part of the joint effort, Allied Universal and The Teen Project are developing comprehensive training and educational tools for all security personnel worldwide, in order to educate them about all aspects of human trafficking and to help them recognise the signs on what to look for, while they are working at their respective locations.
“I couldn’t imagine having a more widespread and impactful team of heroes to join me on my mission, “ said Lauri Burns, Founder of The Teen Project, adding “The difference between ‘doing nothing and doing something will forever impact not only victim’s lives but our lives. Thank you to Allied Universal for integrating a responsible business culture company-wide and for actively taking such a strong stance against human trafficking.”
