How can I get involved?
It is estimated that there are 27 million people enslaved worldwide today
Out of this 27 million, 80% are women and children and out of all female victims 70% are trafficked for the commercial sex industry. The largest portion of victims trafficked in the world are used for sex.
To many people 27 million is just a statistic. To others, perhaps it is still just a random number. However, the truth is, 27 million has a face, name, age, and a dream.
LightForce International Ministries exists to fight against enslavement and exploitation of women and children in the commercial sex industry. Help us out! Use your voice!
All of us have different roles to play in the fight against modern day slavery. Whatever role you step into is important to the fight.
What can I do?
1.) Become Aware
Educate yourself. Research and learn by checking out these links:
2.) Spread the Word
Once you become educated, pass the information along to others who are not aware. Traffickers have built their horrible empires and bank on the foundation of ignorance to the problem world wide.
3.) Get Involved
- Plan an event to raise awareness or fundraise for LightForce or another existing organization in your city. Many organizations are underfunded and helping them fundraise is a huge benefit! Some that we love and work with are Unearthed Pictures, Jesus Said Love Dallas, and the Rahab Foundation.
- Create media that answers common questions about trafficking
- Volunteer for an organization that works to prevent trafficking
