Human Sex Trafficking


Do you believe?

In Fairies, in Santa?

"I need to see it to believe it."

Do you believe in a million dollars?

Then how do you know that exists?

 

Do you believe?

In Drugs, in Tattooing?

"No, it goes against my religion."

But you see it everywhere:

in magazines and on television.

It's glorified, and it's changing.

 

Do you believe?

In Slavery, in Trafficking?

"I need to see it to believe it."

"No, it goes against my religion."

But it happened,

And it is still happening.

 

So what are you going to do?

"Nothing, I'm only one person."

But together we can stop it.

27 million. That's the number.

27 million people

in the sex trade now.
