3. INTRODUCTION
 Human trafficking is the 3rd largest international crime and
its an illegal trade of human beings for forced labor and
sexual exploitation.

Africans across the Atlantic to the Americas.

labor came about.

8. TYPES OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING
 SexTrafficking

 Illegal Organ Harvesting

9. Illegal Organ Harvesting
 “Organ harvesting refers to the practice of removing usable organs
from someone who is dead so that they can be transplanted into
someone else”.
 Organ harvesting is done without the victims consent. Many are
captured and violently killed only to harvest their organs and use them
for small profits.

10. Sex Trafficking
 “Sex trafficking occurs when people are forced or coerced
into the commercial sex trade against their will. Child sex
trafficking includes any child involved in commercial sex.
Sex traffickers frequently target vulnerable people with
histories of abuse and then use violence, threats, lies, false
promises, debt bondage, or other forms of control and
manipulation to keep victims involved in the sex industry”

11. Labor Trafficking
 “Labor trafficking is a form of modern-day slavery in
which individuals perform labor or services through the
use of force, fraud, or coercion. Labor trafficking includes
situations of debt bondage, forced labor, and involuntary
child labor. While this type of trafficking is not specific to
any geographic region or population, the materials below
discuss two very prevalent forms of labor trafficking in the
U.S.”

voice in
the midst of this?

19. Reasons we don’t speak…
 Believe we don’t know enough
 “Sex-industry” is well-funded to get out its
message
 Sounds like a “prude”
 Denial
 Not ready for what might happen

20. What if we don’t speak?
 System will continue to provide the language, attitude,
belief, and justification for its existence and self-
perpetuation
 Miss an opportunity to proclaim a message of
redemption and transformation
 People will suffer in silence, not understanding the
oppression that has gripped them
 Lives of our most vulnerable will continue to be shaped
by a culture of exploitation

21. Stated Theologically
We are called to stand in the grace of God,
believing that it is a missioner priority to
proclaim release to the captives of the system
of exploitation.

22. What can we do?
 Advocate policies
 Support research
 Promote social awareness and educate the
public
 Provide services to victims

23. Department of State Report
 Tier 1: complying with all
laws

24. “Bringing hurt to public expression is an
important first step in the dismantling
criticism that permits a new reality,
theological and social, to emerge.”
 Walter Brueggeman
 The Prophetic Imagination

25. “The task of prophetic imagination and ministry is
to bring to public expression those very hopes
and yearnings that have been denied so long and
suppressed so deeply that we no longer know
they are there. Hope is the refusal to accept the
reading of reality which is the majority opinion;
and one does that only at great political risk.”
