Love 146

Disclaimer: This post is not a pleasant topic and not appropriate for children to read but it is reality. It is a reality that has been heavy on my heart the last few years.

Slavery still exists and that thought to me is so painful. It lives in the shadows and the dark places of this world therefore we don’t encounter it in our daily lives. I think because we aren’t forced to face the reality of it, it feels more like someone else’s problem a someone who lives far away and is out of our reach which is why we are not compelled to do more.

Love 146 is one organization I have been following the last year in their fight to end child sex slavery and exploitation. They are one organization that I admire for their work because they do not only provide aftercare but they also work on preventative services.

Check out their website http://love146.org/ and watch a couple of their videos. I believe it is so important for us to be educated and within our own ability stand up for what we know to be right and just. Standing up can look different for everyone whether that is remembering the victims in your prayers, getting involved in a fund raiser, making those around you aware, or looking up organizations or groups in your own community that are trying to make a difference.

Knowledge is power.
