3. Anyone currently involved in this fight care to chime in?

There are over 20 million people sold every year to the highest bidder. Two million or more are children sold into sex slavery.

A group of highly skilled and dedicated veterans, former police officers, and homeland security agents have joined the fight against child human trafficking. They work with local authorities all over the world to rescue children caught in this vicious cycle.

The group, dubbed The Abolitionists, have been taking the fight to human traffickers for the last two years in Columbia, Honduras, Mexico, India, Hati and the USA. With one child being sold into sex slavery every 30 seconds, we need them more than ever.
