TRUTH #2
Girls and women account for 54% of victims of modern-day slavery.
Human trafficking disproportionately impacts the lives of girls and women, many who are forced into the sex trade at young ages. Trafficking of girls and women includes exploitation in brothels, homes and on the internet. Thank you for helping send rescue.
“There is a fire burning inside of me when I think of my past experiences. I can hear a voice yelling from the fire saying to me, “You have to fight. You must save other girls.”
TRUTH #3
1 in 4 victims of modern slavery is a child.
