No screams escaped her lips with a look of sheer terror in her eyes. I stood shocked into paralysis… completely traumatized by what I just saw. I remember the look of terror in her eyes. No screams came from my lips. Together we were silenced by our fears. There were people surrounding us, but no one stopped it from happening. It seemed to be the norm. Dirty looks shot my way and my mother started yelling for silence. A wade of bills exchanged hands and then… In a moment she was gone.
My mind churned with what would happen next.
Why did so many of my friends suddenly dissapear like this?.
Rape
Unfathomable abuse.
Death.
As I write this, tears fill my eyes.
Why her and not me? What saved me from being taken?
* This story is an excerpt from a news story I watched.
I refuse to be shocked into paralysis any longer.
I will not go on when she stays in chains.
I CAN NOT sit here passively any longer.
The sex industry is taking our sisters every day.
She is just one of millions in the 32 Billion dollar industry.
Ranging in age from 5 – 45
No education – No love – No options.
Justice? What does that word even mean?
+This is NOT to sensationalize the issue. This is reality. I firmly believe we have a very real obligation to care for the widows, orphans, and outcastes. To extend mercy and seek justice – that is why I share this. God did not bless us so we could stay comfortable in our typical lifestyles – He did so that we may bless others.
rise up and seek justice with me.
By Christs power we will see our sisters freed.
