Did you know – California is the #1 State for Human Trafficking! Here’s How to Help!

by Coachella Valley | May 23, 2016 3:41 pm

California is the #1 State in Human Trafficking!  

The number doubles that of Texas. Being close to the border like Texas makes it easy to smuggle people in and out of the country.

The presence of transnational gangs in these areas make this crime more organized. Los Angeles being at the top of the list. (Source – https://www.humanracetohumanrights.com)

The problem is indeed big.  But, there is no need to despair, and there is actually a simple, easy way to help.  And you can even start today, from the safety and comfort of your own home!

Here is a list of some of our favorite organizations who create and/or sell items made by girls who have either been rescued from prostitution or are at high risk of being brought into it if they aren’t given other options:

Remember that EVERY Dollar, Every Effort, Every Prayer.  No Effort is to small. Get involved…..Make a Difference….Save a Child!!

The Abolitionists showed the daily battle of Operation Underground Railroad and their efforts to STOP Child Trafficking.

International Sanctuary (iSanctuary.org)

International Sanctuary, a non-profit organization, empowers survivors of human trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation. Founded in September of 2007, in Orange County, California, iSanctuary empowers and equips survivors for their future.

With its production base in Mumbai, India, the girls, 12-19 years old, receive skills training, creating handmade items. The products made by survivors are sold in the US at home parties, retail shops and community events.

Through these avenues, awareness generates action to fight human trafficking. iSanctuary is working to ensure survivors receive all the elements necessary for restoration, including education, counseling, vocational training, and mental, emotional and spiritual healing.
