It’s time to end human trafficking.
Did you know that there are 40 million slaves in the world and that 10 million of these are children? I know you want to look away, because it’s easier not to know, but this is not a peripheral issue. It’s happening right under our noses, and I am on a mission to raise awareness and be part of the generation that ends human trafficking. Are you in?

“But What Can I Do?”
This is a question I have been asked many times since starting this conversation online. When I first learned about human trafficking I took a deep dive into the following resources, and I’ve compiled a list for you, upon request. I hope you will be inspired to take action, and join me in the fight.

This really opened my eyes to the online nature of the child sex trafficking industry, and how we need to protect our children more than ever right now. If you have children who have regular access to devices, do you know who they are talking to or playing games with online?Listen to Tim Ballard on The Candace Owens Show.
Tim tells the story of Gardy, which was how I first came across O.U.R. You must head to O.U.R Rescue’s Instagram and watch their ‘GARDY’ highlights. It’s one of the most heart breaking and inspiring stories I’ve ever heard.Follow PragerU on Instagram. https://www.instagram.com/prageru/
PragerU don’t just cover human trafficking but they do share some incredible free videos on this topic, as well as others including COVID-19 and censorship.Check out Fight the New Drug: https://fightthenewdrug.org
They are a non-religious, non-legislative nonprofit raising awareness on the harmful effects of porn and exploitation.Please examine your personal use or pornography. To quote Fight the New Drug: “It’s all well and good to speak out against sexual abuse, inequality, and exploitation. But to then watch porn that normalises and glorifies those very same behaviours is missing the point entirely”. I could not agree more.
