That's why I'm on EXIST's board

Ib Hørup

“I find what we do incredibly important. Human trafficing is cruel and most often happens below society’s radar. Women are manipulated and forced to become prostitutes against their will, without the possibility to get help. If they do manage to go back to their home country, they are met with contempt and become outcasts. They need someone who will speak on their behalf and who make themselves available, offer exit programs and help the women get re-established in society.”

Henrik Gunnertoft Bojsen

“People who are victims of human trafficking are among the most vulnerable and overlooked ever. EXIST contributes to a more just world in which assistance and compassion is made available in a very concrete way.”

Karin Hall

“All people are valuable and together we can make a difference.”

Christian Callesen

“Human trafficking is a stain for our planet and our society. I want to take part in lighting a light and bringing hope to some of the women who experience the deepest darkness and evil of this world. It is an honor to be part of bringing hope, life and dignity to trafficked women in Denmark and Nigeria.”

Jens Vesterager

“EXIST works towards re-creating the inherent dignity that everyone is born with, but which is violated when people are abused and trafficked.
It is our responsibility and duty to defend weaker, oppressed people on our way.” 
“Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy.” (The Bible, Proverbs 31:8-9)"
