Amplify 2025


Thank you for joining us at Amplify 2025!

Thanks to all who joined us at VEA Newport Beach for this year’s Amplify Gala. We deeply appreciate all our sponsors, donors, volunteers, and others who made the event possible.

Because of your support, we were able to raise vital funds to continue supporting the GCWJ’s mission to end human trafficking.

Human Trafficking is a criminal activity fueled by greed. Traffickers exploit marginalized, at-risk, and vulnerable people of all ages everywhere, be it right here in our backyard in Orange County, or anywhere else in the world. At The Global Center for Women and Justice (GCWJ), our work—rooted in Research, Education, Advocacy, and Collaboration—builds HOPE for a future where this insidious crime no longer exists. Sadly, our research continues to show that, as a society, we are still not doing enough to PREVENT human trafficking. We must come together to amplify our collective voice and use our influence to protect our children and future generations.  

While it is exciting that we are building capacity locally, nationally, and globally, we cannot do it alone. We need partners like you to strengthen our response and make a lasting impact. Please join us in amplifying this critical mission to help protect the vulnerable and ensure a safer future for all. Let's come together to see the end of human trafficking.

One voice is loud, but many echo.
