Posted on by

prayforfreedom

Join the Global Center for Women and Justice in collaboration with Faith Alliance Against Slavery and Trafficking (FAAST) for the third annual Pray for Freedom.

Our communities will gather to pray for freedom for victims of labor and sex trafficking. Partner organizations and community leaders will open the prayer with a worldwide prayer for wisdom, resources, and divine intervention to free captives.

Partner organizations and community leaders will pray for the unique issues of widows, single mothers, refugees, foster kids, immigrants and vulnerable communities because of poverty, gender discrimination, conflict, and violence. The final focus is reducing demand driven by greed, pornography, and violence. The call to action will challenge attendees to recognize victims, understand how we can serve, and engage the local church community in practical responses that make a difference.

January 28, 2017 from 3-5pm PST
Vanguard University, Newport Mesa Church, Costa Mesa, CA

Every day, people in San Bernardino County are forced into a life no one would choose-sold into the sex trade, locked up and forced to work in sweatshops and made to work for little or no pay. Human Trafficking is a form of modern-day slavery and we, as a community, must do all we can to bring light to this important issue.

Please join us for the Seventh Annual County of San Bernardino Coalition Against Sexual Exploitation Human Trafficking Awareness Walk.

January 28 – Freedom Now Fair

Posted on by

Most everyone will agree that we love our San Diego. But in speaking of our community, there must come the acknowledgement that there is a terrible phenomenon taking place both here and across the country. It’s a phenomenon that many are completely unaware of. Even more disturbing is that there are those who are very much aware of it, are profiting from it and/or are indulging in it. The worst part of all of this is that little girls, little boys, women and men are being enslaved and brutalized by it EVERY DAY. Through force, fraud and/or coercion…these human beings are victims of the crime known as HUMAN TRAFFICKING, and San Diego is one of the top 7 cities in America where this is happening.

There is a need to bring the topic of human trafficking down to street level, so that more people are aware of this critical issue facing our society today and that is taking place in our own back yards. In order to help eliminate this tragic injustice, there is a need to change the way the public thinks about this issue as well as a need to empower them with the education and resources in order to become an ally in this mission. With  these things in mind, we are very excited to announce that the Survivor Leader Network of San Diego is moving forward with our 2nd Annual “Freedom NOW Fair” on January 28rd, 2017…WE HAVE MORE WORK TO DO!!!
