Breaking the Tyranny of Oppression of Human Trafficking<\/b><\/i><\/h2>\n

Saturday, July 14th<\/p>\n

\"\"Human trafficking is a form of modern-day slavery in which traffickers use force, fraud, or coercion to control victims for the purpose of engaging in commercial sex acts or labor services against his\/her will. In 2017 The National Human Trafficking Hotline received 854 calls for help from North Carolina and 221 human trafficking cases were reported in our state. <\/p>\n

What is Human Trafficking? <\/b><\/i><\/h3>\nHuman trafficking is a widespread throughout the United States today. Trafficking of humans is the second highest money-making criminal enterprise in the world after drug trafficking. Many victims of sex trafficking are made to engage in prostitution, pornography or exotic dancing. Other victims are forced into labor exploitation, sweatshop factory work or migrant agricultural work. Force, fraud and coercion are the methods used by traffickers to press victims into lives of servitude and abuse.                                                                                                  \"\"
\nBo Quickel is the founder of Vigilante Transport Company and Vigilante Truth ministry located in Mooresville, North Carolina. Bo is now the leading authority in North Carolina for advocating against the demand for sex trafficking. He is a leadership team member of \u201cHT Charlotte\u201d and has been involved in the abolitionist movement to end sex slavery in the USA since early 2012 via the founding of the non-profit ministry Vigilante Truth. \n

The primary focus of \u201cVT\u201d is to radically diminish the consumer demand for services provided within the commercial sex trade. The passionate efforts to reach the goal of ENDING sex slavery in the USA is being accomplished through education, public awareness, hotel John interventions, adult massage parlor surveillance and starting high school clubs that promote value and understanding of priceless females.<\/p>\n
