Most of us are fully aware of what human trafficking is. We know it exists in all corners of the globe, trapping innocent lives in a reality of unimaginable abuse and exploitation. In spite of our awareness, however, it's such an immense global issue, that most of us don’t know what to do about it or how to even begin to combat it. We feel overwhelmed and incapacitated, so it's just easier to ignore the issue and look the other way. However, at Love Justice, we have witnessed time and time again how one person can make a tremendous difference in this fight.

May has been an exciting month as we have witnessed people from all over the globe join us in our Mayday message and add their voice in the fight to end human trafficking. Recently, members of our Love Justice staff in Thousand Oaks, California, held Run for Freedom, a 5K event designed to raise awareness and engage the community in our Mayday mission to prevent 1,000 more lives from experiencing exploitation and abuse this month. 

We are sending out a Mayday! Thousands of beautiful lives are in urgent need of your help! Right at this very moment, over 40 million people live in slavery around the world. That number includes the innocent and beautiful lives of young women and children being sold into the horrific world of sex trafficking as well as boys and men being forced into labor trafficking.

South Africa is full of paradigm-destroying contradictions. It is uniquely complex among all our fields, but it seems uniquely stocked with highly qualified and passionate leaders determined to fight in this battle for justice.

At Love Justice, we thrive off building strong relationships with our amazing partners. The important work we do is directly fueled by their faithful dedication and commitment to our joint mission of ending human trafficking. Recently, we were honored to link arms with both N2GIVES and N2 Publishing Area Director Mike Maletich in this crucial fight against the greatest injustice of this generation.
