ABOUT HUMAN TRAFFICKING

Human Trafficking, also known as today’s slavery, is a crime that involves the illegal act of forced labor and sexual exploitation. Human Trafficking is not just something that happens across the world, in fact, it is happening in our own backyards. Right under our noses, men and women, particularly children ages 9-17, are being pulled into the ring of sex slavery either by force or coercion. Because of this, we feel a strong calling on our hearts to be a part of putting an end to this ongoing cycle, both around the world and around the corner.
