The Salvation Army is preparing to celebrate its 160th anniversary!
In recognition of this upcoming significant anniversary on 2 July, The Salvation Army International Headquarters has created eight short videos chronicling the vast and varied mission of the global Salvation Army over the past 160 years, with one video being released each week, beginning 5 June.
The first video looked at The Salvation Army as both a church and a charity.
The second video highlighted The Salvation Army’s emergency relief work.
This week’s video explores the Army’s response to modern slavery and human trafficking, an issue “woven into The Salvation Army’s DNA.”
What began as a local response to the sexual exploitation of women and girls 140 years ago has since evolved into a global strategy committed to dismantling modern slavery and human trafficking.
