Rescue From Human Trafficking

The International Labour Organization estimates that there are 40.3 million victims of human trafficking globally.

• 81% of them are trapped in forced labor.
• 25% of them are children.
• 75% are women and girls.

Trafficking: the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harboring or receipt of persons, by means of threat or use of force or other forms of coercion, of abduction, of fraud, of deception, of the abuse of power or of a position of vulnerability or of the giving or receiving of payments or benefits to achieve the consent of a person having control over another person, for the purpose of exploitation.

Human Trafficking is a topic most people try and avoid, it is not pretty, it is shocking and for most of us, we don’t know how to navigate it without a barrage of strong emotions; anger, frustration, hurt, hopelessness and the unbelievable thought that we can treat one another in such horrible ways, especially children.

 “…God made humankind upright, but they have sought many evil schemes.” Ecc 7:29

As evil as human trafficking is, there is hope!
