HUMAN TRAFFICKING AWARENESS DAY JAN 11, 2016

Today is Human Trafficking Awareness day. This is the perfect chance to help bring awareness to the reality of modern slavery to those around you.

For those wondering where to start, I highly suggest visiting one of these non-profit organizations and donating to them. These organizations also have pages with ideas on how you can help and what you can do to make a difference. I've associated with and/or researched these organizations on various levels in the past and feel they are trustworthy and truly making differences in this fight. There are many other organizations you can support who do fabulous work, but if you're new to this cause and want some place to start, start with these.

• International Justice Misssion
• Love146.org
• Operation Underground Railroad
• Free the Slaves
• Not For Sale
• Somaly Mam Foundation

THE A21 CAMPAIGN: saving 1 at a time

I was introduced to the A21 Campaign fellow anti-trafficking blogger, Karyn, who writes the Delicate Fortress Blog. A21 has the goal of abolishing modern slavery in the 21st century. With millions in bondage through forced labor, sex trafficking, bonded servitude, etc... modern slavery can be an overwhelming force to comprehend, let alone fight.

A21 takes the approach of saving the one. As we save 1 at a time, raise awareness and prevention efforts, and prosecute the criminals behind these abuses, the goal of abolishing injustice can be achieved.

Currently A21 has offices in the US, Australia and Greece. Their primary focus is confronting trafficking and saving girls in Greece, since it's a hot bed and focal point of sex trafficking throughout Europe.

Here are some videos produced by the A21 campaign. They are all 30 sec. to 4 min. long. Invite you to take time to watch them and then share them with others.









You can learn more about A21 at their website www.thea21campaign.org.

Thank You,
