freechains.org:::helping to end child sex trafficking
July 9, 2008 | Filed Under Uncategorized
There are around 2.5 Million child sex slaves worldwide.
300,000 of those are in the United States.
14,000 are in the Atlanta area alone, which is less than 2 hours away from me.
These statistics are shocking, sickening, and downright heart-breaking for me. I struggle to wrap my mind around the whole sex trafficking industry, but regardless of how hard it is to understand, it is a disgusting reality.
We must do something to end it.
I have had the privilege to work with Free Chains, a wonderful organization committed to raising awareness about this issue, help to put an end to sex trafficking, and most importantly provide places for children rescued from sexual slavery to begin to heal and get back what’s left of their innocence and identity. As of right now there are very few places, if any, for these rescued children to go. The goal is to raise $65,000 to purchase a safe house to facilitate the healing and raise awareness about the presence of sex trafficking.
They officially launched their website today, and I urge you to check it out and discover ways you can help.
Here are some images we shot for the campaign featuring the Free Chains Keychain, which is one of the ways you can help.
