Derek Hough has directed a powerful dance video to raise awareness about human trafficking.

The dance, called Rescue, was posted to Hough's Instagram.

"I wanted to create something that would shine a light and bring awareness to this horrific problem, but also educate people on the shocking statistics. It's truly something you can't UNLEARN," he writes in the caption. "The only way to stop this is to face it. Shed as much light as possible on the darkest corners and GET LOUD. Let's send out an army to find them and rescue them. RISE UP."
