One of the most common ways traffickers lure their victims into human trafficking is with the promise of employment. In countries where poverty is the status quo, the offer of a good paying job is a literal lifeline for the victim, enabling her to feed and provide for her family. Watch the following video to hear one woman's testimony about how Love Justice intervened on her behalf.
Through transit monitoring and interception, we attack trafficking at the most strategic moment—while it is in the process of occurring and BEFORE exploitation and enslavement. To date, we have intercepted over 13,000 lives at risk of being sold into human trafficking. We currently have 30 different transit monitoring stations located where trafficking occurs—near important border crossings or transit hubs across Southeast Asia and Africa.
Here's the breakdown of our interception process:
- When our highly trained Love Justice staff notice a sign of trafficking, they stop the suspected trafficker and victim for an interview to determine if trafficking is occurring. If our staff members recognize a red flag, they continue their questioning, separating the suspected victim and trafficker.
- If further questioning reveals additional red flags, Love Justice staff take action by contacting the victim’s family, questioning the suspected trafficker, and if the situation warrants it, contacting the police to deal with the trafficker further.
- The victim arrives at one of our shelters for protection, aftercare, and education about the dangers of trafficking as we assess if it is safe for the victim to return home.
- We interview victims to gather data and criminal intelligence to assist our process of convicting traffickers. When possible, we guide the victim through filing a legal case against her trafficker.
This crucial life-saving work done in the field would not be possible without the dedication of our partners. We have become a family working together to share the tangible love of God through actively fighting the battle of modern-day slavery, so the beautiful lives He has created in His image can live in freedom. We would be honored for you to join us on this exciting and eternally impactful journey.
