Save The Girls
You sell your unwanted stuff and buy the freedom and care of a girl, a precious girl, made in the image of a holy God, who has been treated like trash. From junk to gems, from trash to treasure, these girls need your help.
How widespread is it? Worldwide, more than 2 million children are trapped in sex slavery. (UNICEF) In the U.S., sex slaves number more than 100,000. (FBI/ABC)
How old are sex slaves? The average age is 11. Some are as young as 5 years old. (CIA)
Is human trafficking big business? Yes! Human trafficking (included sex slavery and forced labor) is the world’s third largest criminal enterprise after drugs and weapons. (U.S. Department of State) The total market value of illicit human trafficking is estimated to be in excess of $32 billion.
