MODERN-DAY SLAVERY: THE SALVATION ARMY WORKS TO COMBAT HUMAN TRAFFICKING IN WAKE COUNTY
New Case Managers, Weekend of Prayer to Focus on Victims of Human Trafficking
WAKE COUNTY, N.C. (Monday, September 19, 2011) The Salvation Army of Wake County is taking a new and stronger initiative against human trafficking in Wake County. With funding from a grant given by the North Carolina Coalition Against Sexual Assault (NC CASA), two Anti-Human Trafficking Case Managers have been hired to focus on identifying and providing services to victims. In addition, The Salvation Army, internationally and locally, will observe the 6th Annual Weekend of Prayer & Fasting for Victims of Human Trafficking on September 23-25. Wake County citizens can sign up to pray for a 30-minute time slot on The Salvation Army’s local website, www.keepthebellringing.org.
Christine Shaw, Director of Social Ministries at The Salvation Army of Wake County, stresses the importance of focusing on this issue: “Many people don’t realize that the United States is the number one destination for trafficked victims, or that hundreds of thousands of children are prostituted in the U.S. alone,” she states. “The Salvation Army is working to identify and help these children, as well as many adults, who are affected by this trade. We hope that the community will come together and pray for these victims, as well as get educated and involved with this pressing issue.”
Human Trafficking is one of the fastest growing criminal industries in the world, profiting over $32 billion dollars annually. It is defined as a form of modern-day slavery where people profit from the control and exploitation of others. Victims of human trafficking include children involved in the sex trade, adults age 18 or over who are coerced or deceived into commercial sex acts, and anyone forced into different forms of "labor or services," such as domestic workers held in a home, or farm-workers forced to labor against their will. The Salvation Army, on a national scale, has identified anti-human trafficking as one of its top 5 priorities, and in Wake County, it is quickly become a top priority as well.
To sign up to pray for victims of Human Trafficking during the weekend of September 23-25, or to get more information about anti-human trafficking, visit www.keepthebellringing.org.
