sex trafficking

A former strip club owner recently opened up about her journey of shutting down her clubs and becoming an advocate for victims of sex trafficking.

The lead pastor of a Wisconsin evangelical church has been arrested for soliciting minors.

We need to have our arsenal of weaponry ready, and that includes excavating the hidden places in our own lives. Once we have the freedom to address what needs to be exposed, then we can equip the next generation to find their freedom. We need to fight for the children so they can rise up and fulfill the purpose that was deposited into them, to take their position in this world and to change it. But we must first do our part to fight for them right now.

Eighteen men were recently arrested for human trafficking. A Baptist youth pastor is reportedly among the arrested men.

According to the Tallahassee Police Department, more than 170 people were arrested for their involvement in a Florida sex-trafficking network.

The Justice Department has been awarded $100 million in federal grants to fight human trafficking.

According to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, child sex trafficking includes the “recruitment, harboring, transportation, provision, obtaining or advertising of a minor child for the purpose of a commercial sex act.” Of the roughly 24-thousand endangered runaways reported last year, estimates are that one in six were victims of sex trafficking. Often, traffickers are family members or family friends, such as parents who’ve lost custody or guardians looking to profit.

A plane is most free not when I drive it, but when I fly it. That’s what is designed for. The same is true of human sexuality. We are not most free when we do whatever we want, but only when we are what God created us to be. 

On Friday, the Department of Justice shut down a major prostitution and sex trafficking website and indicted the website’s owner.
