Over the last decade increased awareness of Human Trafficking has almost become so prevalent as to become common. Those rescuing victims note that Media Fatigue has drowned out donors. I mean, with war in so many regions, and tensions in nations that used to be at peace, plus economies that wobble, who really has time for what could be fake news?
The Reality, however, is that roughly 800,000 American girls are ALSO victims.
The Truth is one in seven American children reported missing was likely a victim of sex trafficking and of those, 88 percent were in the care of child welfare when they went missing. Those in foster care are at particular risk of being trafficked when they “age out” of the system.
Facts prove that, while this is horrible, and happening in America, there ARE people in America doing something to stop this. And there are laws here, and former victims starting not-for-profit orgs, and training in the FBI is improving. Thank God.
HOWEVER ... there are places in this world where NO one is ALLOWED to openly rescue women, because the same people who pay powers that be under the table are the ones who Traffick women and children. Where children are trafficked for body parts, where women are sold for $10, used, and thrown out. Where there is no minimal "marriageable" age. Where polygamy is encouraged and flaunted. Where war is fomented because fresh prostitutes are needed.
THIS is where Cross Cultural Connections said NO MORE.
And this is what we are getting behind. Not just with our talk, and our shock, but our pocket books.
NO ONE likes to hear bad news without hearing a solution that they can partake in. No one.
