Raise your voice…

Scared.
Alone. Innocent.
Angry. 

Just a few of the words that can be used to describe the victims of those enslaved in human trafficking.Most of the victims here are sold against their will, they are taken into captivity and used and abused every day.  They have no voice in the situation.  They live in hope that their cries will be heard one day.  While some may have been promised money and a good life, only to find out when they arrive to their destination that it’s all a lie.  They were lied to.  Now they’re stuck as a prisoner in a world of lies and abuse.  Will you speak up for them?

Raise your voice.  Shine a light on slavery.  Take a stand.  There can be some great power spoken in just those few words right there.  If you haven’t yet heard of the agencies that work to fight against human trafficking, you should check out the A21 Campaign and/or Abolition International.  They are doing some amazing things in the world to put a stop to the human trafficking issue and they are saving lives daily.  We have to speak up and share this message to be heard.  If we can make more people aware of the situations occurring than more victims can be heard and their lives can be saved.  Be the voice to the voiceless.
Proverbs 31:8, says; Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves;
ensure justice for those being crushed. (NLT)
You might be thinking, ‘what does this have to do with me?  I’ve never seen it around here.’  Just because you’ve not witnessed it personally doesn’t mean in doesn’t exist.  Trafficking just doesn’t exist in the third-world countries.  North America is quite possibly just as big of ground for human trafficking as other countries are.  Many are being rescued from this horrific form of slavery every day.
These people are silenced in there suffering as they are enslaved by traffickers.  “Because every 30 seconds another human being becomes a victim of human trafficking".”  (A21 Campaign)
Natalie Grant’s song Home, is a great song to give hope to those who have been enslaved and rescued.    
You’re home, where secrets are told see a new world unfolding where hearts are one, the pain’s undone and you’re finally belonging, yeah and you need to know, you need to know you’re home, yeah you need you know, you need to know you’re home
Everything’s gonna be alright
’cause you’re home
feel the sun, your day has come
you’re not alone you’re home

Love the words to Natalie Grant’s song, Safe, which says; In Him, I am safe.  
I ‘m not gonna hide, I’m not gonna run away, I’ll uncover the scars and show You every mistake, Your love is mending my blisters and my bruising shame, here with you I am safe, I am safe, I am safe, I am safe…

So if you have heard this and want to do something about it, check out the websites from A21 Campaign and Abolition International and start a Love Revolution! 

Blessings and Be A Voice to the Voiceless,
