Love 146


Love 146 is working towards the abolition
of child sex trafficking and exploitation
through aftercare and prevention.

Here are some staggering statistics from
their web-site...

*Trafficking in persons is modern-day slavery,
involving victims who are forced, defrauded or
coerced into labor or sexual exploitation.

*It is estimated that 2 children are sold every
minute.

*United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) now
believes that the number of children trafficked
annually... is around... 1.2 million (2006)

*The U.N. and other experts estimate the total
market value of illicit human trafficking at roughly
$32 billion. This makes trafficking in persons the
second most lucrative crime in the world.

*It is estimated that at least 27 million people are
currently enslaved around the world, this is more
than double the number of Africans enslaved during
the Trans-Atlantic slave trade.

Check out the Love146 website to learn more.

Go to their videos to see the amazing story of how
they got their name.

God Bless!
