In 2002, the co-founders of Love146 traveled to Southeast Asia on an exploratory trip to determine how they could serve in the fight against child sex trafficking.

In one experience, a couple of our co-founders were taken undercover

with investigators to a brothel where they witnessed children being sold for sex.

We found ourselves standing shoulder to shoulder with predators in a small room, looking at little girls through a pane of glass. All of the girls wore red dresses with a number pinned to their dress for identification.

They sat, blankly watching cartoons on TV. They were vacant, shells of what a child should be. There was no light in their eyes, no life left. Their light had been taken from them. These children…raped each night… seven, ten, fifteen times every night. They were so young. Thirteen, eleven… it was hard to tell. Sorrow covered their faces with nothingness.

Except one girl. One girl who wouldn’t watch the cartoons. Her number was 146. She was looking beyond the glass. She was staring out at us with a piercing gaze. There was still fight left in her eyes. There was still life left in this girl…

…All of these emotions begin to wreck you. Break you. It is agony. It is aching. It is grief. It is sorrow. The reaction is intuitive, instinctive. It is visceral. It releases a wailing cry inside of you. It elicits gut-level indignation. It is unbearable. I remember wanting to break through the glass. To take her away from that place. To scoop up as many of them as I could into my arms. To take all of them away. I wanted to break through the glass to tell her to keep fighting. To not give up. To tell her that we were coming for her…”

Because we went in as part of an ongoing, undercover investigation on this particular brothel, we were unable to immediately respond. Evidence had to be collected in order to bring about a raid and eventually justice on those running the brothel. It is an immensely difficult problem when an immediate response cannot address an emergency. Some time later, there was a raid on this brothel and children were rescued. But the girl who wore #146 was no longer there. We do not know what happened to her, but we will never forget her. She changed the course of all of our lives.”

We have taken her number so that we remember why this all started. So that we must tell her story. It is a number that was pinned to one girl but that represents the millions enslaved. We wear her number with honor, with sorrow, and with a growing hope. Her story can be a different one for so many more.

Love is the foundation of our name because it is our motivating drive to end the trafficking and exploitation of children. We hold true what Martin Luther King Jr. said,

“Justice at its best is love correcting

everything that stands against love.”

Kim Purcell is the author of Trafficked, a novel about human trafficking. She also wrote THE MOST VIEWED post on this blog: Fear in Writing, Fear in Life. She is joining us again today to talk more about trafficking and how YOU can get involved and help put an end to this horrible act, which is often called modern day slavery.

It seems no matter where people are trafficked, they have one thing in common: the traffickers are feeding on their vulnerabilities. Maybe you have family issues or boyfriend issues. Maybe your confidence isn't great. The traffickers spot this. They compliment you, take you out for dinner, buy you things, coerce you to do things you wouldn't otherwise do, make you feel wonderful and then make you feel horrible. They feed on your needs, they make you dependent on them, and then, once they've worn down your confidence, they exploit you.

In America, 100 000 American kids and teens are trafficked every year. That's a pretty huge number. This means they're being exploited, used for their labor and their bodies, and they aren't getting paid.

Most people agree that human trafficking is a terrible problem and an issue we need to solve in our society today. But how? For a lot of these big issues, it's normal to wonder what kind of an impact one person can have, especially if you're a young person with fewer resources.

But I think kids, teens and college students can make a bigger impact today than they ever could in the past. Any student who wants to activate change can do so now through social media and blogging. Nobody knows how old you are, just that you have something interesting to say. I think all young people should have blogs and twitter accounts to share the things they are passionate about. As a side benefit, this can lead to a career.

Here are some small things any person can do to make a difference. Choose one and do it today and then tweet, Facebook or email me to let me know how it went.

Almost all big cities have anti-trafficking organizations, so you can look online to see who is in your city. Some of the ones I recommend are ... Love 146, Gem Girls, Stop Child Trafficking Now, ECPAT, Restore NYC, Not For Sale, Free the Slaves, Cast LA, La Strada International, Somaly Mam. Safe Horizon, Polaris Project, Stella's Voice. The Salvation Army.

2. Write your senator or representative in Congress.

Maybe you don't want to start a Twitter account or blog dedicated to the subject, but you can let your friends know about the issue on Facebook. You can pass along my novel to your friends. The organization Love 146 has used Trafficked as a tool of awareness and I think it's a way people can connect on an emotional level with how trafficking happens.

There are a lot of videos on YouTube that address this issue that you can share, just search the term Human Trafficking. Please note, many of them are NSFW (or school).

[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GDrCMWT4Khc]

This includes everything from electronics to clothing to coffee to chocolate. How can you avoid these goods? Shop for fair trade items. Also, shop for things made in the US, or another developed country. It might cost a bit more, but the quality is usually better too. Better to buy fewer things than to know you might be wearing something made by slave labor.

5. Donate or start a fund-raiser at your school.

Even if you donate five dollars, it can help. I visited a school in Washington, DC, where students are doing regular bake sales. I went to another school in Park City, UT, where students printed up anti-slavery t-shirts and sold those. Every little bit helps. This is why I'm donating 20 percent of everything I make from Trafficked to anti-trafficking organizations.

Everyday kids and teens are taking a stand about issues they care about and deciding to Do Something. Visit Do Something.org to learn how you can be a force for good in the world.

We need to help the victims of trafficking and we need to stop this crime from happening in the first place. There are so many innovative things you can do to help end human trafficking. If you decide to turn your compassion into action, let me know what you end up doing. I love hearing these stories. And it doesn't have to be big...Even a five-minute tweet can change the world, if it's retweeted enough times.
GIVEAWAY: Author Kim Purcell is giving away a signed copy of Trafficked. Please leave a comment between now and March 23rd to be entered to win. We'll need either an e-mail or a Twitter follow back to get in touch with the winner. Open to residents of the United States.

PowerPoints for Chapter 10
CHAPTER 11: THE ANTI-SEX TRAFFICKING MOVEMENT IN THE UNITED STATES

First, anti-trafficking activism is described, including the work of survivors, professionals in the legal and social services, and their political and community partners. In addition, the work of other grassroots organizations emphasizing awareness and training for identification, such as in truck stops, travel plazas, train stations, bus stops, airlines, and hotels, are depicted. The chapter explores activism in the political arena and the development of legislative accomplishments on the federal and state levels to protect and prevent re-victimization of trafficking victims. The presence of international anti-trafficking organizations and their impact on anti-trafficking efforts in the United States are described. Last, media organizations who have lent their support to anti-trafficking activism, providing news coverage, documentaries, and exposure of anti-trafficking activists' efforts, (which are of varying quality) are examined.
PowerPoints for Chapter 11
CHAPTER 12: NEW DIRECTIONS

Who founded the Organization?

This website doesn't have information on who founded this organization.

Who runs/works for this organization?

It doesn't say directly, however;

Dr. Claire Crooks is one of the lead developers and researchers of the Fourth R, a relationship-based program aimed at preventing violence and related risk behaviors in adolescents.

Julie George, presently Canadian Women's Foundation Board co-chair, has been a philanthropist and committed volunteer in the non-profit sector for over 25 yrs.

Crystal Laborero is a band member of Sapotewayak Cree Nation and is presently self employed as a Consultant.

Ildiko Marshall has been involved with the Canadian Women's Foundation for over seven years and has served on the board for close to three years.

What is their objective/mission (who/what/where)?

As a women’s foundation, we specialize in helping women and

girls move out of violence, out of poverty, and into confidence.

The key reasons they focus on women and girls:·

Improving gender equality improves economic and social conditions for everyone.

Women and girls deserve a chance for a better life—free from violence, poverty, and rigid stereotypes that limit their potential.

Women and girls face different kinds of economic and social challenges, which require different kinds of solutions.

Helping women and girls is cost effective and creates very successful outcomes.

Across the globe, people are beginning to recognize the economic and social benefits of improving gender equality. End Sex Trafficking is linked to this global movement through membership in the Women’s Funding Network.

You can help stop the violence, end poverty, and empower girls.

What strategies/programs/projects are they using to meet this objective?

- A Campaign entitled “Donate Your Voice” which features men and women donating their voice to share the story of girls who have been sex trafficked. ---> Video is to the right.

- Investing nearly $2 million over three years to provide funding to organizations, conduct research and bring together experts on the Task Force on Trafficking of Women and Girls in Canada.

- The Canadian Women’s Foundation travelled across Canada in 2012 and 2013 to conduct in-depth consultations in eight cities with over 260 organizations, 160 young women/survivors of sex trafficking, and all levels of government.

-  The Task Force on Trafficking of Women and Girls in Canada is convening a National Round Table of experts from across the country who are working with girls and women who have been trafficked (front line community organizations, legal, medical and policing). The Task Force is also convening a National Round Table of women who are survivors of sex trafficking in Canada.

- The Task Force on Trafficking of Women and Girls in Canada is developing a National Anti-Trafficking Strategy that addresses issues and solutions in six priority areas:

- Service needs and gaps for trafficked and sexually exploited girls and women

- Public awareness and prevention strategies

- Relevant legal and policy issues

- Sector capacity building and training

- Government policy and funding

- Philanthropic strategies

Why are these strategies effective or ineffective?

- It has allowed public polls to take place:

78% of Canadians agree that girls under the age of 16 are not in prostitution by choice

67% of Canadians agree that Canadian girls under the age of 16 are being recruited/trafficked to work in prostitution against their will.

70% of Canadians agree that women are brought into Canada from other countries and forced to work in prostitution against their will.

End Sex Trafficking is also allowing the chance for women/girls to feel like they aren't alone by encouraging people to share their stories. This can help them mentally, physically, and emotionally to recover by having the advice of people who went through the same thing.
How is this organization funded?

End sex Trafficking is ran by a numorous amount of private foundations, and companies, such as:

-Leacross foundation, People Sense foundation, and the Ontario Trillium Foundation

-Twice a year, Winners and HomeSense do a special campaign to raise funds: Shop for Hope (Spring) and Hosting for Hope (Fall). Winners and HomeSense are national partners in the Canadian Women’s Foundation’s annual campaign to end violence against women.

-Avon supports programs across Canada that empower abused women and their children to rebuild their lives. In the Fall of 2013, Avon will be launching a special product to support their work to stop bullying and promote healthy relationships.·

Our Work

You don't believe in taking a Band-Aid approach to solving problems and neither do we.

That's why the Canadian Women's Foundation focuses on the most critical challenges facing women and girls, and invests in the most effective solutions for long-term change.

With your support, we approach holistically-from women and girls in communities across the country right up to the federal government level.

When you support the Foundation, you support:

Transforming Lives Across Canada

The Foundation funds programs in the following issue areas:
What's different about our approach?
These programs are designed for and by the women and girls who need them most. The Foundation understands that many women and girls face multiple barriers- including geographic area, culture, race, citizenship status, and ability-to accessing resources and support when it comes to issues like violence and poverty.

We prioritize programs that address such barriers, and that are tailored to the specific needs of local communities.

Strengthening the Sector:

It takes strong community organizations and dedicated service providers to deliver programs that change lives. Yet, these organizations often operate on shoestring budgets with few resources.

With your support, the Canadian Women's Foundation provides organizations with one to five years of funding, which helps to retain staff, evaluate programs, and improve long-term outcomes.

We also bring grantee organizations and sector experts together to network, discuss emerging issues, coordinate services, and work together toward long-term solutions.
Sector Resources and Webinars

Advancing Gender Equality:

The Foundation contributes to provincial and national strategies and policy-making on issues including: violence against women, anti-trafficking, teen healthy relationships, the leadership of girls and women, and economic development of women across the country.

The Foundation believes in advancing gender equality across Canada through supporting the organizations working on the issues. That's why we bring people together on special projects and movements in areas including the field of teen healthy relationships, mentoring girls, and overall gender equality across Canada.

Human trafficking involves the recruitment, transportation, harbouring and/ or exercising control, direction or influence over the movements of a person in order to exploit that person, typically through sexual exploitation or forced labour. It is often described as a modern form of slavery.

Victims suffer physical or emotional abuse and often live and work in horrific conditions. They may also face fatal consequences if they attempt to escape. This crime represents a consistent and pervasive assault on the fundamental human rights of its victims.

This Affects mostly

- Women

-Children
