Innocence Taken

When we hear the phrase human trafficking, most of us think of teens or young women lured from their suburban homes. Or snatched while at the mall hanging out with their peers, then loaded onto a truck, bound for a secluded location where they are sold for men's pleasure. This is often the way Hollywood portrays the human trafficking industry. And, while at times it does happen this way, it is not always the case.

Many times, human trafficking happens right under our noses, in our own communities and neighborhoods. It happens to both male and female, and often at a much younger age than we realize. (Pedophilia is a huge problem! This deviant sin is much more popular than we think.)

This is the story of three women and their experiences.

Sarah, kidnaped while on a mission's trip in South America; forced to serve a drug lord.

Amara, whose brother sold her over a drug debt that he owed; and later ended up being sold to a pimp.

Scarlett, whose father would allow men to rape her, in exchange for favors. Who later in life, to protect her own son from being a victim of pedophilia, sold herself to men.

Three brave women whose Innocence was taken, who looked evil in the face, and lived to tell. These are their stories; their pain, their fear, their escape and their healing.
