Between now and Dec. 27th commit to give to help end the suffering of women and children sold into sex slavery. A recent recovery of children trapped in prostitution in the U.S. indicated that as many as 100,000 minors are working in the sex trade domestically (October, 2009). Little is being done to address the need for shelters here in the U.S. In fact, in some instances exploited girls are being kept in jail until they can speak out against their perpetrator because there is no other safe place to keep them. Help us build safe homes to offer restoration to survivors of trafficking in the U.S. Established shelters dedicated to the total restoration of an individual rescued from sexual slavery will have a huge impact on the face of modern day slavery and the abolitionist movement of the 21st Century. When victims become re-integrated into society they can speak out against perpetrators and affect change for other victims. This will help move us closer to achieving our ultimate goal: a day when slavery is truly eradicated.
