It is time for the injustice of modern day slavery to be put to an end. It is estimated that there are 27 million slaves worldwide. Half of these slaves are children. The average age of a trafficking victim is fourteen. Children are serially raped for profit in sex trafficking, while others are forced into grueling hours of slave labor. By the time you finish reading this paragraph two children will be sold as slaves; two children are sold every sixty seconds.
To do our part in ending modern day slavery we are focusing on three areas: awareness, prevention, and rehabilitation. We chose these three focuses because we believe that human trafficking should be ended with a thorough approach that brings about hope. Through awareness, we hope to inspire millions to stand against human trafficking by using their time, talents and resources to stand as abolitionists. With prevention, we hope to address the core issues of trafficking such as poverty, ignorance, demand and thus inspire communities to commit to keeping their communities traffic free. Finally we seek to rescue trafficked victims from their living nightmare and provide the hope of dreaming again and live a live both physically and spiritually restored.
We hope to inspire others because Christ inspired us and has come to set the captives free in all areas. This year, we are excited to share a vision that aids in the end of modern day slavery. We are striving for a few crucial campaigns that we believe are vital for the end of modern day slavery.
