BURLEY- Soroptimist International, an international group of business and professional women who work to improve the lives of women and girls worldwide, is launching their “Stop Human Trafficking” project to alert the public that this problem exists and women in the United States are not excluded.
Soroptimist believes that trafficking is one of the most important issues affecting women and girls globally.
They have launched a project, called “Soroptimists Stop Trafficking,” which aims to raise awareness about the problem of sex trafficking, and urges communities to take action to end it.
Sex trafficking is a $32 billion global industry. Between 600,000 and 800,000 females are forcibly transported into the global commercial sex industry each year.
According to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, Thailand, China, Nigeria, Albania, Bulgaria, Belarus, Moldova and Ukraine are among the countries that are the greatest sources of trafficked persons.
