Our Challenge

It’s easy to dismiss the term “sex industry” as being something rural, underground, made up, or only existant in underdeveloped nations. But it’s not—we’ve seen it with our own eyes.

Consider this:

  • Right now, 300,000 women are forced to work as prostitutes in one of Thailand’s 60,000 sexual service centers.
  • This industry brings in $27 billion a year, and those numbers are increasing daily.
  • More and more young girls and women are being sold, trafficked, or forced into prostitution.

The driving force? Poverty.

  • It’s estimated that close to $300 million is transferred yearly to rural families by women engaged in prostitution in urban areas.
  • Poverty forces these girls and women to sell the very last thing they have—their bodies and their self-dignity in order to provide for their families.

 

Our Challenge is complex and enormous. Not only must Freedom 4/24 combat a powerful industry, but we must seek to create relationships with the women and children who are enslaved in it, in order to bring them an opportunity for freedom. We also seek to empower and educate the women and children so they can begin to impact attitudes and customs that currently lead to women being treated as property and often considered “disposable.”

 

Our Vision is to grow Freedom 4/24 into a successfully run international non-profit organization providing relevant information, media and merchandise designed to raise awareness of the sexually exploited by providing a reliable income stream to Christ-Centered organizations who purpose to rescue enslaved women and children.

Freedom 4/24 desires to bring freedom to the sexually exploited and through Jesus Christ the hope and freedom for eternity. The message of redemption and grace is clear throughout the scriptures. It is the hope of Freedom 4/24 to spread this message in whatever means God provides.

How It Works:

Freedom Begins With A Day. As we continue our fight against the injustice of this issue, we know that a life of freedom begins with a day. One day. 24 hours that can be the beginning of a life of freedom. A life of opportunity, education, employment, health care (physical, emotional, spiritual).

This is an enormous issue that must be addressed on many different levels. But, the end must begin somewhere. Let it begin with $24. Let it begin with one enslaved woman offered freedom at a time. Let it begin with you.
