A work for human dignity
Human trafficking is one of the world’s fastest growing crimes and a serious violation of basic human rights.
EXIST works actively to combat this injustice and ensure that every person is met with dignity, respect and hope.
Our work is based on the belief that all people are unique and have infinite value — regardless of background, status or life situation.
Information and prevention
EXIST actively works to raise awareness about human trafficking in Denmark. Through lectures, events and collaboration with
schools, churches and organizations, we reach a broad segment of the population.
We are experiencing increasing engagement from both volunteers and students, who contribute knowledge and research that helps
strengthen efforts against human trafficking.
