Google joins fight against slavery

 Google has claimed that they will provide $11.5 to organizations who fight with slavery and human trafficers on Wednesday. One of the grant recipients, president and CEO of International Justice Mission Gary Haugen has named this move as "game-changing investment". 

 IJM is one the organization (human rights agency) that saves the lives of slavery and sexual exploitation. "This is the largest corporate step up to the challenge that is beginning to apply direct resources to the fight against slavery," Haugen said.

 According to estimates by grant recipients, Google's support will free an estimated 12,000 people from slavery and prevent millions more from being victimized. "Many people are surprised to learn there are more people trapped in slavery today than any time in history," Fuller said.

  Google made the announcement through a link posted on its web page. The gift is part of a total of $40 million the Internet giant is giving in charitable donations during the holiday season.
