Traffickers lurk in plain sight - hanging out in malls, luring victims through chatrooms, snatching runaways off the street, or tricking those living in poverty, promising them a job - Traffickers look like everyday people - seeking victims in every corner of the world

When I was being tortured, raped, and otherwise brutalized,
I often spat with venom, "If you exist, God, where the HELL are you
now???” And I meant every word of it. I could not believe that love even
existed back then.
I have suffered immeasurably over the past 22 years because
of the rare virus I contracted (Tropical Spastic Paraparesis) while I was held
captive and sold for three years by traffickers.
But I no longer cry out, “God, where the hell are you now?”
My strength to persevere, my ability to smile, and my passion to fight and be
more than a voice for survivors and victims of this horrific crime comes from
this oft-times confusing Creator.
We all have different names for him/her … some of us don’t
believe in a Designer at all. Either way, that is ok. I am not here to preach.
What I have learned is that we are not robots. Evil men and
women exist and do evil things. But we have the power to stamp out these
spineless pieces of scum and wipe them off the face of the earth. This is
either our planet, or it isn’t, our choice.

IN OUR OWN BACKYARD
If it does not touch our lives, if we cannot see it; then, it must not exist – except it does exist in our own backyard.

"My body was just a tool to please men in exchange for money. I had become
a blow-up sex toy with a pulse. All that mattered to me now was survival,
avoiding the beatings and getting the next hit of heroin. I had become what
Shane had sought to create: a living dead girl." Wildflower - A Story of
