#buildabetterworldwithlego

I financially give support monthly to an organization called Rapha International that helps young children who are being exploited and trafficked in Cambodia and elsewhere in the world.

Although much of this world has been impacted by the virus, there are still many who are in desparate need of help due to other challenging and unfortunate circumstances. Thankfully there are those who still are working hard to build a better world like those at Rapha International who not only are rescuing children out of bondage but giving them the hope of a new and free life.

If you can help support @raphaintl then please do (go to rapha.org for more info) but I want to encourage all of you builders out there to take this time to build something real or digital that brings light and attention to a cause you believe in and use the hashtag #buildabetterworldwithlego

Let's build a better world together.

-Steven

Rep. Kristi Noem speaks to the media during a bi-partisan press conference on House action to pass legislation to end human trafficking.

“Recently, a teenager reached out on behalf of her friend through the CyberTipline, NCMEC’s online reporting form. She was nervous to report because she did not believe she had much information to provide – only that her friend disclosed to her she had a pimp and was being sold for sex. After initial review, we confirmed the child had not been reported missing to NCMEC. Following extensive research and analysis, I could locate escort ads depicting the child, confirming that she was being exploited through child sex trafficking. The escort ads and information on the child were sent to local and federal law enforcement, who were then able to locate the child and open an investigation. When multiple entities can work together to address child exploitation and recover victims from dangerous circumstances, it provides hope that the same can be done for other victims.

 

This case is a great example of how just one person advocating for a child can be the catalyst needed to identify, respond to and prevent child victimization. Children can be their friends’ best defense. To combat child sex trafficking, we must continue to educate ourselves, our children and friends about the signs of child sex trafficking through reputable and survivor- led sources.

 

As a criminal justice major in college, I took classes on child victimization and it was eye opening to see how much work still needs to be done to protect our children. After graduation, I volunteered with anti- trafficking organizations and learned about the many layers and complexities of child sex trafficking. I have continued to learn and put my knowledge into practice in my work as an analyst at NCMEC.” Lauren, Child Sex Trafficking Team
