Slavery is one of those things that our society generally agrees is inhumane and degrading. Most people are astonished that there have been times in history where slavery was accepted as normal and acceptable. Yet somehow many people turn a blind eye to the fact that child exploitation and sex trafficking are forms of modern day slavery. And while many people claim to be opposed to these atrocities, they may not realize is that the demand for human sex trafficking is fueled by pornography and the porn industry.
Join Ever Accountable to take a stand against the exploitation of children.
Thanks to the efforts of a three-year undercover operation in Toronto, nearly 400 children have been rescued and 340 adults have been arrested in connection with child pornography and exploitation.
The worst part? Many of the arrests were of people who worked with or closely interacted with children. Among those arrested were school teachers, doctors and nurses, law enforcement personnel, pastors and priests, and foster parents.
It is more important than ever to commit to protecting our children by putting a stop to the demand for child pornography and exploitation.
Images that exploit children have become more prevalent than we would ever like to imagine. Child pornography has been spreading throughout the web for years and it is only getting worse.
This is a growing global issue, and it won’t disappear on its own. We all need to step up and speak out about the realities of child exploitation in our world today.
