Stop Sex Trafficking!




"On the street I saw a girl
cold and shivering in a thin
dress, with little hope of a
decent meal. I became angry
and said to God: Why did
you permit this? 'Why don't
you do something about it?'
For a while God said nothing.
That night He replied quite
suddenly: 'I certainly did
something about it.
I made you.'"

Take action   

United Methodist Women is dedicated to raising awareness of modern-day slavery and recruiting allies to help end it. Local United Methodist Women can help save the lives of girls like Kelsey.
  • Invite local law enforcement officials to a unit or circle meeting or event and find out what you can do to help.
  • Partner with other community groups, especially men’s groups, to spread information through literature and public events.
  • Visit United Methodist Women's human trafficking webpage for more information and resources to help.
  • Write, call or e-mail your senators to pass U.S. Senate Bill 596, The domestic Minor Sex Trafficking Deterrence and Victims Support Act. The proposed funds in SB 596 are the first dollars earmarked to put a roof over the heads of victims in America. You can call Senator John Cornyn @ (202) 224-2934 or send him an email by filling out a contact form at http://cornyn.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?p=ContactForm. He also has a Facebook page: facebook.com/Sen.JohnCornyn.
    OR:
    Senator Ron Wyden @  Phone: (202) 224-5244; contact form (email): http://wyden.senate.gov/contact/ and Facebook: facebook.com/wyden

  • I just called and put in my vote of support and was told that they should be voting on this soon. Both numbers are in working order so do what you can to make some changes. If I could help just one young lady get out of this daily hell it would be well worth it..I too was in a similar hell working in the sex industry, not knowing how to ever get back to normal. With 13 years of counseling and drug and alcohol treatment I am now able to focus on my future with my head held high, addiction free! Thanks for listening: cozynblue
