How you can fight sex slavery and human trafficking.
A few of you had questions about yesterday’s video, and wanted to know more.
I got it from @gener8online (gener8online.com) which raises money for rescue homes.
Here’s more:
From what I can tell, Aaron Cohen (@aaroncohen777) is one of the world’s top abolishionists. He’s written a book (Slave Hunter), and works for Abolish Slavery. Warning: His twitter feed can be bone-chilling when he goes on undercover operations.
A very well-established organization is International Justice Mission (@ijmhq) – these people are on it.
Also, Justice and Care (@justiceandcare) is a large anti-trafficking organization that reaches all forms of slavery.
If you want statistics regarding sex slavery, check out Slavery Map – @slaverymap – which gives global info on reported incidents.
A few other organizations I keep my eye on through twitter:
- @not_for_sale (notforsalecampaign.org – fighting to rescue/stop trafficking)
- @BeautyFrmAshes and @FreedomHomes (work with those coming out of slavery)
- @theblindproject (“empowering victims of sex trafficking”)
- @projectexodus (Christian organization that runs investigations around LA.)
If you’re wondering how in the world this kind of injustice even happens, read this article about an Iraqi teen who spent 10 years in it.
These organizations and links and names are just an introduction to modern abolition. If you want to help, pick a well-known established organization and write a check. Seriously.
(Note: S. LOIAC… – if you’re reading this and I missed something important, tell me! I didn’t even know where to begin.)
