How You Can Support The A21 Campaign

My introduction to the A21 Campaign came through Christine Caine at Cathy Duplantis' Women's Conference last fall. All it took was watching one video about the facts of the abuse.

Then Christine Caine spoke with passion about what the A21 Campaign is attempting to do to fight this battle against human trafficking. Christine's message came with an anointing that pierced my soul and inspired me to continue in my pursuit of hearing and obeying the voice of God to do WHATEVER He asks.

I knew in my heart that that day marked the beginning of my becoming an abolitionist on behalf of victims of this horrible crime.

The facts about this crime are staggering:

Trafficking in women is the second largest global organized crime today, generating approximately US$12 billion a year.

There are 1.39 million victims of commercial sexual servitude worldwide.

Over 25 percent of sex trafficked victims are trafficked from Southern and Eastern Europe.

90% of victims trafficked into EU member states end up in the sex industry.

There is an estimated 20,000 women and girls trafficked into the Greek sex industry, earning Greece the title: "the center of trafficking in Europe."

Tragically, only 1-2 percent of victims are rescued, and only 1 in 100,000 Europeans involved in trafficking are convicted.

My being an abolitionist for the A21 Campaign has lead me to garner support through my company's fundraising tool bar featured from OurGV...(G standing for Global; V standing for Vision).

It's one way to share this vision and start to help by raising awareness. It's also a great way to raise support, not by asking for money, but simply asking that people download this tool bar and do their normal searches online.

Ready To Fight?

My husband and I watch the National Geographic shows with our children quite often. We notice how some people risk their lives and are quite passionate about saving the seals, saving the whales, etc etc.

We thought: "What about human lives?"

Whether it's abortion or the child sex trades, someone has to step out and speak on their behalf.

So this is my start. I've drawn a line in the sand. I am willing to be persecuted or challenged in my support of the A21 Campaign's fight against this horrible crime.

I love the vision of the A21 Campaign.

The goal is threefold:

Rehabilitate Survivors

Offering a temporary shelter for victims that will meet their psychological, mental, and emotional needs.

Partnering with government agencies and NGO's to rescue and restore the lives of the victims.

Address legislation

Ensuring witnesses are protected and assisted during the investigative process.

Working to support, develop and change legislation that will ensure traffickers are identified and prosecuted.

Raise Awareness

Developing international awareness of human trafficking

Providing education to potential victims in common countries of origin for trafficked victims.
