what if i told you that there are girls who are tricked into selling their bodies for food.
what if I told you there are 15,000 girls eighteen and above being bought for sex.
and this is how girls get lured into slavery:
“If you come to this place with me I’ll give you a job. You’ll be a house maid. I promise it’s safe. You’ll have enough money to feed your family”
Money means food. It means you have another day. It means the promise of a future.
in reality these girls are stepping into a nightmare that doesn’t end. Long nights being stripped down to an illusion to be consumed by an empty man. From 6 pm to 4 am the girls are a toy for the eyes and hands of whoever buys them.
and if they attempt to leave:
“If you leave I’ll kill you. I’ll kill your siblings.”
most girls are threatened, physically, mentally, and emotionally assaulted to stay in the bars. to the girls, just maybe if they suffer through this their baby sister won’t have to do the same.
I could go on for hours about this injustice and really attempt to peel your eyes and flood your heart with agony to the reality of what human trafficking is but I’m not going to. Instead I’m going to share a way to help.
Wipe every tear. This is an organization planted in the Philippines that’s sending people into the bars to buy girls drinks and offer them good news- a free education, a safe home, food, and all the resources inbetween. I watched 22 girls step into complete freedom in two nights through wipe every tear.
Currently over 70 girls are living in these safe homes. These girls that once lived in the bars are going back into their old personal hell and walking out with girls linked to their arms.
god’s justice is happening and it cured something in me. I experienced freedom and hope in the darkest place on earth.
