What will be our legacy? Will we be known as the ones who valiantly became modern day abolitionist? Will we stand and say no more, not in my backyard? Trafficking is a global issue. The tragedy of trafficking is thousand of young girls and boys are sold into modern-day slavery. Each year sexual traffickers lure, coerce, trick, drug, kidnap, and sell millions of vulnerable women and children into the multi-billion dollar sex trade. In their daily lives victims of sexual trafficking endure unspeakable acts of physical brutality, violence and degradation including rape by so-called customers and pimps; undergo forced abortions; acquire drug and alcohol dependencies; live in fear of their lives and in fear for the lives of their family and friends; suffer acute psychological reactions as a result of their extreme physical and emotional trauma; and contract sexually transmitted diseases which all too often bring life-long illness or hasten death. If they survive, the physical, psychological and spiritual impacts of these experiences on victims are devastating and enduring.
Now our time has come to stand up for human dignity and decency and to change history for the good. We hope that the resources available on this website will ignite your passion, and equip you with the information you need to join the fight against sex traffickers and exploiters. Please join us and help create an unrelenting force that will end this evil. www.giveittwice.com
