Young Abolitionists Travel World Using Photo Journalism to Help bring an End to Child Trafficking and Slavery
"I believe? we can make the difference, but we have to fight and I am more than willing until we see the day, until we see this coming to an end."
CBN News reports on a group of young people belonging to Youth With A Mission (YWAM), and who have been traveling throughout the nations documenting the suffering of trafficked children in an effort to raise awareness.
After visiting places like the red light district in Thailand, the grave reality of child sex slavery made an impact.
"One morning we left early to go get breakfast and on the outside of the brothel, one of the girls?she must have been like 14, 15?she had been drugged and raped brutally. She was almost completely naked and laying in the street," recalled Morgan Perry, one of the young women in the YWAM group. "I had heard of trafficking, but I still didn't know what defined it... just seeing her there I realized that is the essence of what the UN is talking about."
Perry, together with about 19 others from about 8 different countries, documented horrific cases of trafficking all around the world, and have condensed it into a book in the hopes of informing people who may not have been aware of such an appalling injustice against innocent victims.
The book is simply titled: Sex + Money: A Global Search for Human Worth, and is just one of the weapons in their arsenal used to inform and fight human trafficking. The group also speaks on the subject at universities and churches.
One of their goals is to see America become the first "slave-free" nation.
