Established in 2004, The Grey Man is an international organisation dedicated to eradicating the trafficking and exploitation of children. Based in Brisbane, Australia our activities are focused on the countries of South East Asia.

Our main role is the rescue of children from traffickers. However, early on we realised that rescuing children was not enough. Once they enter sex work  they can become socialised to their life there and it becomes difficult to convince them that they deserve something better. Many of them will be physically or psychologically damaged and face the prospect of death from AIDS. We realised that we needed to stop them from entering the sex trade in the first place.

Therefore, in tandem with our rescue work, we began a prevention program where we support educational infrastructure projects in the ethnic minority villages (a major source of trafficked children). We have found that the best way to prevent trafficking is to provide funds for education and family assistance but to link this assistance to a child's progression in school. Presently we support three villages in Thailand with various projects.

We hope you will browse this site to learn more about how The Grey Man and its dedicated volunteers are working to stop the trafficking of children.
