National Slavery and Human Trafficking Awareness Month and EasyRaise Launch

    NEW YORK, NY, January 09, 2017 /24-7PressRelease/ -- There are approximately 20 to 30 million victims of slavery and human trafficking in the world, according to DoSomething.org. Human trafficking is the third largest international crime industry, right behind illegal drugs and arms trafficking with a profit of $32 billion every year. This is a global atrocity that is being brought from the shadows to light with the help of various organizations.

January is National Slavery and Human Trafficking Awareness Month and EasyRaise, a social giving fundraising platform created by nonprofits for nonprofits, is hosting their launch party to raise money for the cause. EasyRaise has partnered with the nonprofit Beauty for Freedom that combats human trafficking globally. This event will be featuring the artists Robert Galinsky, Danielle Parente and Angelica Morrow to launch EasyRaise's platform for an evening to raise awareness for slavery and human trafficking.

"My co-founders and I are gratified that we are able to launch EasyRaise.com," said Kyle Hayungs, co-founder of EasyRaise, "our new fundraising platform for nonprofits and NGO's, with Beauty for Freedom during this important month where we can participate in creating awareness about the continuing tragedies of modern slavery and human trafficking. Too many people think they are issues relegated to the 19th century and back when they are, sadly, thriving industries in the so-called modern world. We hope to be able to use our system to help raise money to spread the word about this important topic and the hundreds of others that are so deserving, but have difficulty getting attention." EasyRaise will be donating a portion of the proceeds from the event to Beauty For Freedom's art therapy programming in South East Asia and Africa.
