Back to Innocence

 “Sex trafficking is the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harboring, or receipt of persons for the purposes of commercial sexual exploitation.  It is accomplished through fraud, deception, threat of or use of force, abuse of a position of vulnerability, and other forms of coercion.”

Jubilee project has created a video to spread awareness of the gravity and impact of sex trafficking.  Worldwide, about 700,000 and four million women, children and men are trafficked each year, and many of these incidents occur in middle class families. 

“Sustained by an estimated $9.5 billion annual revenue, sex trafficking is one of the fastest growing crimes in the world and it is the world’s second largest criminal enterprise… Approximately 80% of human trafficking victims are women and girls and up to 50% are children under the age of 18. UNICEF reports that across the world, there are over one million children entering the sex trade every year and that approximately 30 million children have lost their childhood through sexual exploitation over the past 30 years. The average age of entry for children victimized by the sex trade industry is 11 years old.”

Jubilee project supplies all the facts and horror along with its video, “Back to Innocence”, on its website, http://jubileeproject.org/2012/06/27/the-story-behind-back-to-innocence-the-short-film-on-sex-trafficking/.  Read the stories, watch the video and even the emotion creating the video in the behind the scenes video found on the link below.  Help spread awareness about this imperative issue.
