"Evil can be undone, but it cannot 'develop' into good. Times does not heal it. The spell must be unwound, bit by bit."
C.S. Lewis

Taking part in ending the sexual abuse and exploitation against human beings around the world is taking out the powers of evil, bit by bit.

facts:

-250,00 to 500,000 children live as prostitutes in Brazil.
-3,500 children are trapped in brothels and clubs for commerical sex exploitation on the borders between Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina.
-40,000 annual births in Thailand go unregistered. Without a birth certificate, these children are denied health care and education, and are more vulnerable to exploitation and abuse.
-50% of human trafficking victims are minors.
-30% of sex workers in India are children.
-80% of human trafficking victims are women and children.

...2 children are sold into the human sex trade every minute.

Isaiah 58

v.1: Shout it loud, do not hold back. Raise your voice like a trumpet..
v7: Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter--when you see the naked, to clothe them, and turn away from your own flesh and blood?
v8: Then your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will quickly appear; then your righteousness will go before you, and the glory of the Lord will be your rear guard.
