Welcome!! You are here by invitation or by clicking the link on the Called To Rescue (CTR) webpage:

Whatever the case may be, we are grateful you are here and that you have shown interest in a world wide problem- human trafficking. For those of you who may be unaware of what human trafficking is, please allow this explanation taken from the United Nations website (http://www.unescap.org/esid/gad/issues/trafficking/index.asp):
...human trafficking is “The recruitment, transportation, transfer, harbouring or receipt of persons, by means of the threat or use of force or other forms of coercion, of abduction, of fraud, of deception, of the abuse of power or of a position of vulnerability or of the giving or receiving of payments or benefits to achieve the consent of a person having control over another person, for the purpose of exploitation". "
Human trafficking is a very real problem and it comes in many forms; sex, labor, organ and child soldier trafficking. This blog is a place for information, awareness, discussion and advocacy for not only children and adults over seas but also for those who are a part of this epidemic on a local level. A posting will occur once a week which will include everything from personal stories from those of us here at Called To Rescue, newspaper articles of encouraging news and of that not so encouraging as well as useful information that anyone can apply to their life to help combat this problem.
Please bookmark, favorite, or however you mark this blog spot to remind yourself to come back soon!
Thank you for visiting,
Amanda
