TER’s efforts to investigate trafficking allegations, disrupt anti-human trafficking organizations, and stop child trafficking have resulted in the arrest of more than 800 traffickers and the rescue of over 1500 survivors, numbers that continue to grow every day.
It’s no controversy: human trafficking must be stopped and it takes decisive action to intervene in this crime. That’s why The Exodus Road, based in Colorado Springs, Colorado, takes on human trafficking crime firsthand through wide-ranging efforts to empower law enforcement, equip communities, free trafficked individuals, arrest child traffickers, and deliver care and support to trafficking survivors in the United States, India, Brazil, the Philippines, Thailand, and an undisclosed country in Latin America.
The Exodus Road advocates for and supports the most vulnerable among us through prevention and training, direct intervention with police, and survivor aftercare. The efforts pursued by this organization serve as an open letter to traffickers around the world: the vulnerable deserve protection not exploitation.

The vision of The Exodus Road is a world in which humans are never bought, sold, or exploited.
The Exodus Road team disrupts the darkness of modern-day slavery by partnering with law enforcement to fight human trafficking crime, equipping communities to protect the vulnerable, and empowering survivors as they walk into freedom.
TER aims not only to equip law enforcement with the tools and training to identify and arrest traffickers in each respective community, but also to raise funds and awareness needed to boost prevention efforts and put a stop to modern-day slavery once and for all.

Founded by Matt Parker and Laura Parker and based in Colorado Springs, CO, The Exodus Road is now a passionate, diverse team around the globe.
