there are over 2.5 million sex slaves worldwide.
2.5 million human beings... literally forced into slavery. that's an astonishing fact.
even more astonishing is the fact that many of them are children, with an average age of 12 years old. and before you think this is a problem that only effects other countries... think again.
it is estimated that nearly 200,000 american children are at risk for trafficking into the sex industry. did you know that the city of atlanta has over 14,000 child sex slaves? nationwide, 1/3 of all runaways end up in the sex trade within 48 hours of leaving home. 55% of all child pornography originates right here in the united states.
this is a growing problem that requires immediate attention. recently, a friend of mine decided to stop talking about it and stand up and do something. he created an organization called free chains. free chains is a collaboration between individuals, churches, musicians, artists, business owners, moms, dads and students to end child sex trafficking.
you can be a part of the solution by donating to free chains. you can sponsor a rescued slave or sponsor their safehouse. you can help raise awareness by buying a free chain keychain or t-shirt.
visit freechains.org for more information on how you can help. you can also join their facebook group and invite others to join as well.
