We are living in volatile times. As the boundaries of our world become smaller and our cultures and belief systems blend in an ever-changing melting pot of ideals and philosophies, it’s easy to lose sight of fundamental truths. Amidst the clamor of differing opinions, however, one principle remains steadfast: the tangible impact of living a life of love. 

Last month, our transit monitoring team intercepted three vulnerable minor boys named Rahul*, Mayank*, and Soham*. Our staff had been observing the boys and could tell that they seemed noticeably lost, scared, and confused.

Recently, at one of our monitoring locations in South Asia, two young girls sat on a park bench at the local bus station appearing to be waiting for someone. To the average passerby, nothing would seem out of the ordinary. To our trained transit monitoring staff, however, this “everyday” scenario immediately raised a red flag. Two young girls, alone, is often a sign of suspicious activity.

We believe in the life-changing impact of education for our children. We seek to fight injustice and to help children realize their dreams by fostering an environment where they can become all they were created to be. Founded on the core values of love, excellence, and wisdom, our Dream School provides the best education possible for our students.

There are millions of children in the world who have been abandoned by their parents, been forced to leave home because of extreme poverty, or suffered the loss of their parents due to disease or war. Without parental guidance, provision, or love, these children's lives can be wrecked on the street, and they are vulnerable to many forms of exploitation, including the potential of being trafficked.

Human traffickers prey on the weaknesses and adverse circumstances of their victims. Their intentions are often masked behind a warm and friendly smile offering a lucrative job to someone in desperate need of providing basic necessities for their family. 

A female trafficking victim named Dhanvi* was recently intercepted by Love Justice staff in Southwest Asia. In the process, our investigations team was successful at securing the arrest of one of her three traffickers at the airport as he was attempting to flee the country.

The fight to stop human trafficking is a crucial battle that requires dedicated individuals joining together and taking a stand against this horrific crime of injustice. We recently sat down with our chief investigations and security officer, Jeff Blom, and asked him to share a little about his role with Love Justice, along with the conviction that drives him to be a part of helping protect those most vulnerable to human trafficking.

Our main strategy to fight human trafficking is through prevention and education; we strive to intercept potential victims before they are exploited and abused.

According to the U.S. State Department, 600,000 to 800,000 people are trafficked across international borders every year, of which 80% are women. We would like you to meet a few of the women who are standing up and fighting back to help stop human trafficking and save lives from the devastating exploitation and abuse of this horrific industry.
