As a modern day abolitionist, I've been volunteering in rescue homes for victims of human trafficking for the last eight years.
The girls and women that this crime affects are real people and faces to me.
It used to infuriate me that each year people would draw a red ❌ on their hands and call themselves good for the rest of the year.
So here's a challenge to you supporting the end it movement today, and a challenge to myself as well:
Don't let today lose its momentum.
-Find a local organization that fights human trafficking daily and join hands with them. If you're in Greenville, I have three different organizations that I can direct you to.
-Pray that God moves in your community.
-Don't support trafficking by watching porn.
Yes, those girls and women in those pictures and videos are victims, and if you disagree or want to argue with me, feel free. I would be happy to help you understand how serious the porn issue really is.
Several of my friends from the rescue facilities were grown women who found out that porn videos had been made of them, and they don't even remember it. Their pimps/boyfriends drugged them so severely that they can't even remember the video being made.
Sometimes the women in the videos are forced to do terrible things because their safety is threatened. There is so much going on that you can't see. If you're struggling with this concept, please ask questions. Ask your pastor, visit fightthenewdrug.org, send me a message or a comment. This is a serious issue, and it's important to take it seriously.
Today doesn't make me angry anymore, because I see that the red ❌ is a symbol of solidarity in a movement that needs to keep going all year. Now I thank God for it and praise Him for bringing awareness to a sensitive issue.
Challenge yourself. Keep the momentum moving.
