Fighting Human Trafficking: How to Go Beyond the Anti-slavery T-shirt

With Congress' recent passage of  anti-human trafficking bill, my thoughts turned again to this tragedy of our times. It's hard to write about such a dark topic, however, there are many who are shining lights into the darkness. If you're came here from my shop, here's a way you can help beyond wearing an anti-slavery t-shirt by supporting organizations that are working to help victims and/or stop the scourge of human trafficking. Here are a few of those organizations.

Samaritan's Purse seeks to prevent human trafficking through educating vulnerable communities. They also assist victims.

Gospel for Asia operates Bridge of Hope centers as a refuge for children vulnerable to exploitation.

Compassion International works to prevent human trafficking by giving donors the opportunity to sponsor an at-risk child.
