"Taken" Sex Trafficking in our Midst

This past Friday night I went to see a movie called Taken that came out on Jan. 30th and has Liam Neeson. The Movie is based around two young girls who go on a vacation to Paris and end up getting abducted and sold into sex trafficking. This movie is very real and action packed while showing the full extent of modern day sex slavery that is rapidly growing in our world. I Highly recommend anyone and everyone to see this movie, it is very moving and informing. The movie is rated pg-13.



Trafficking in women and girls is the second or third most profitable industry used by organized crime after drugs and guns. The United Nations estimates that as many as 4 million women and children are trafficked around the world for purposes of forced prostitution, labor and other forms of exploitation every year, meaning every thirty seconds or 2,500 per day another person becomes a victim. The UNICEF reports that across the world, there are over one million children entering the sex trade every year and that approximately 30 million children have lost their childhood through sexual exploitation over the past 30 years. There are currently 27-30 million individuals in slavery today, 70-75 percent of who are sex slaves.

Please be praying for the ending of sex trafficking and the hope of Jesus to go forth...
