End Trafficking – Help Victims

Fighting Human Trafficking in America

The key to fighting human trafficking is three fold.

1) Prevention
2) Prosecution
3) Victim Restoration

To prevent human trafficking, we need to become aware. Educate yourselves on the exploitation of women and children. Learn to identify victims and report suspicious activity. You can do this by visiting the following web sites.

Until the demand for sexual services is reduced, human beings will be bought and sold. We need to advocate for stronger state and Federal anti-trafficking legislation. We need tougher penalties for the traffickers and for the consumers of these women and children. Visit these sites to take action now.

Restoration is crucial in enabling victims to rise above their circumstances and make real changes in their lives. Housing, medical treatment, substance abuse treatment, education and training, and faith based counseling are vital to this. There are organizations that help and reach out to those suffering in the sex industry.

There are things that we CAN do as individuals, and as the body of Christ together as one. We can protect those that are the most vulnerable in our towns and cities. We can combat this travesty and help free those living in bondage. We can let it be known throughout this land, that our women and children are NOT for sale.
