Human Trafficking Awareness Month

Every 30 seconds another person becomes a victim of human trafficking, and the average age of trafficking victims is 11-14 years old. How can we as the Body of Christ sit back and do nothing? We can't.

That's why Love In Action joined the fight to stop human trafficking. We conduct awareness campaigns in Dothan, AL, and throughout the tri-state area through outreaches at truck stops, state rest areas and bus stations. We bring awareness to local youth by speaking to youth groups and in schools. We work closely with local law enforcement agencies.

How aware of human trafficking are you? January is National Human Trafficking Awareness Month, and we are doing all we can to bring more awareness to this horrific crime, which is the fastest growing organized crime in the world.

There are more slaves - sex and labor slaves - in the world today, 30 million, than ever in history. It's not just a Third World problem. An estimated 100,000 children are being exploited in the United States today.

Human trafficking brings in more than $32 billion a year. That is $20 billion MORE than Nike. That's a staggering and very sobering fact.

That's why Love In Action is actively making people aware of this problem, and working with local and state police to help abolish this injustice in the 21st century.

You need to know the signs of trafficking, such as when a person is not free to leave or come and go as they please, a person having injuries or signs of physical abuse, and the presence of an older boy/girlfriend.

LIA Director of Human Trafficking Outreach Gia Hughes is available to present a program to youth, churches, civic groups, etc., to bring more awareness to this evil. Call us at 334-494-4995 to set up a presentation.
