Our Story
The dream of MODERN ABOLITION began with founder Gilbert Acevedo's harrowing experience witnessing the horrors of sex trafficking in Cambodia. This life-changing moment, combined with the joy of impending fatherhood, ignited a passion to create a movement dedicated to fighting injustice. MODERN ABOLITION strives to bring help, hope, healing, and health to those in need, advocating for the voiceless and addressing critical issues like child slavery and poverty.
