Youth With A Mission has partnered with many other agencies around the world to work towards the abolition of slavery and human trafficking. At my previous YWAM location in Australia part of what we were doing was “Voice in the Dark” and “The Voice for the Voiceless”. Recently YWAM has partnered with Not for Sale in the fight against human trafficking.
Part of the ministry of Not for Sale is the “Slavery Map“, a site designed to “record and display instances of human trafficking across the globe”. You would be surprised where instances are recorded, as there are a lot of instances recorded in so called “developed” nations. There is even one recorded here in Calgary…
The Slavery Map has started to make an impact on how businesses and people operate, and helps to make these people’s stories heard. You can read about one such incident on the YWAM International Web-site here.
