fight modern-day slavery

It is estimated that at least 27 million people are currently enslaved around the world.
 

The industry generates more than $32 million annually,
making it the second most lucrative crime.  
 

Two children are sold every minute - over 1.2 million children per year.
 

A majority of those are victims of commercial sexual exploitation.

For the months of May and June, I am participating in the Tread on Trafficking event put on by Love146. Take some time to learn about their eye-opening story:

 

 
A little more about the work that Love146 is doing:

Love 146 has initiated two core program areas to combat the issue of child sex slavery and exploitation, Prevention and Aftercare. In addition, Love146 works to grow a body of Research on the issue to enhance the knowledge base for the communities we serve, our partners and our work. 

get involved

As a part of Tread on Trafficking, I will be keeping track of all of the miles that I walk, run, and bike and raising money for efforts of Love146 to end child sex slavery. If you are interested in donating, you can visit my donation site. If you are interested in participating, you can get registered and get started. Even though the event starts tomorrow, people can continue to register after it begins.

Raise awareness and take some action concerning one of the major humanitarian crises we face today. Be an agent of change.
