American Samoans have marched against human trafficking in an attempt to spread awareness about the issue.
Since the human trafficking law was signed two years ago, no one in the territory has been charged.
The Walk for Freedom was to stand up for the 27 million people believed to be victims of modern day slavery around the world.

Marchers dressed in black, and some had their mouths taped.
One of the local organisers, Emma Toilolo, said the walk was not a protest .
"Twenty seven million, when I heard that - 27 million, not only women, but men and children, you know it affects them," she said.
"So the black tape ressembles, you know we're advocating for them who can't talk."
Ms Toilolo said she hopes her organisation can keep supporting vicitms and work with the community, but she also hopes there can be more prosecutions in the territory and abroad.
