Human Trafficking
is an issue that I would say a significant number of World Racers are wrecked for during the course of the year. Not only has my heart broken for those enslaved, but so have the hearts on the squads going out before and after me. The people that are praying the dangerous prayers inevitably run into this issue, an issue that I struggled to call an ‘issue’.Human Trafficking has a name and a face – and there are an estimated 200 million of them scattered around the globe crying out for FREEDOM.
We want to answer their cries.
Oftentimes human trafficking is referred to as modern-day slavery… because it’s just that. And out of the millions enslaved, roughly 80% are said to be used for sexual exploitation, either through forced prostitution or other means.
My friend pointed me to this six-minute video that explains in greater depth what Human Trafficking is and why it’s a problem; causes range anywhere from globalization to organized crime to a high demand for sex (usually fueled through pornography).
I recommend you watch this video put out by Exodus Cry, although I’ll warn you that he kind of gets pretty intense in the last minute (he’s calling people to action and he’s not afraid to raise his voice).
