Love146

I was reading a friend's blog the other day about her recent travels and some of the things that she had seen and how they were really affecting her. She posted a link for an organization called Love146. I was very curious to see what their work was. The first thing I did was watch a video, an overview of the organization. I was blown away, yet again by the massive amounts of people TODAY being enslaved and trafficked.
This book that they have put together sums up lots of the information and stories in order to be easily found. The stuff in it can be very hard to believe. One page that blew my mind was when I learned that menus for girls in brothels are sometimes used. A picture of the girl is given along with her services and charges. Children are being treated like a hair salon.
Love146 works in prevention and aftercare "to combat the issue of child sex slavery and exploitation." If you are at all moved by hearing about slavery and human exploitation, you need to check this organization out. They are doing some great work across the world.
