The Slovak Republic, or Slovakia, is a source, transit, and destination country for men, women, and children subjected to sex trafficking and forced labor. Slovak women, who comprise the majority of victims, are subjected to sex trafficking in Germany, Austria, the UK, Ireland, Switzerland, Poland, and other European countries. Ukrainian, Moldovan, Bulgarian, Romanian, and Vietnamese men and women are subjected to forced slave labor in Slovakia. Eastern European women are also reportedly transported to and through Slovakia and forced into prostitution within the country and throughout Europe. Slovak childen are subjected to sex trafficking within marginalized communities in the Slovak Republic and forced into criminal behavior in the UK.
The government maintained efforts to prevent human trafficking, but acknowledged the need to raise public awareness and improve data collection on anti-trafficking efforts. In February 2015, the government approved a national program to fight trafficking covering 2015-2018 that acknowledged the need to improve ministries' anti-trafficking capacities. This is where I come in.
Forum Zivota, a human rights advocacy group, is working together with the Catholic Charities, The Pink Cross Slovakia, and some other NGO's to raise awareness about the killer porn industry, human trafficking, and the link between the two. Most importantly, they will be focusing on how the redemptive love of Christ can over throw both of these demonic forces and heal the individuals involved.
This has been a work in progress since January of this year, but it will be taking place this October. I will be flying out to Slovakia on October 11th and staying for about a week or a little more. I will be speaking at the Counter-Trafficking Festival as well as many other engagements while there. I am trying to raise at least $1000 by October 5th. I know that this is only 3 weeks away, but nothing is impossible with Christ and when Christ's children are willing to be His hands and feet. Please support me as I travel to the front lines of this fight. I will be going alone! Please give and pray for me, my family, and this event relentlessly. Thank you and God bless you as you give.
