{When I read this, all I could think about were those all of those precious little girls I met in Sao Paulo. Julia, Bianca, Rebeca, Jeovana, Ana, Paloma... What if this happened to them? The thought made me want to cry.}
When I read things like this, I know that I'm pursuing the right career path. As for what I can do here and now, I am definitely applying to be a part of IV's justice team, whose emphasis this year just so happens to be sex trafficking, amongst other injustices. They shared this video with us during retreat.
{If I do get the privilege of working for the IJM one day, God willing, I hope to truly make a difference in the lives of the people victimized by trafficking, enslavement, and violence.}
Human trafficking brings in $32,000,000 annually; that's more than Google, Starbucks, and Nike combined. Just take a second to really think about that...

these are just a few of many. i could continue this list, but that would be redundant. this statistic is widely publicized and accepted. sorry, that link will not discredit the statistic.
