I am weakened and undone. I cannot turn my brain off or stop
my heart from racing each time I realize that at this very moment a human being
– woman, man, A CHILD – is being tortured, raped, and terrorized.
In the beginning of my captivity, I begged for my life, cried
out to God for someone to rescue me, and tried to hang onto to a thread of hope.
I just wanted to go home. After months of unimaginable horrors and several
suicide attempts, I resigned myself to the fact that I’d never be free.
But, because of the bravery one of the girls held captive with
me, the police rescued me. And, even though I contracted a rare sexually
transmitted virus, Tropical Spastic Paraparesis, that paralyzed me, I am a
lucky girl.
Less than 1% of victims are rescued. This is unacceptable and
overwhelming. Why do we let this go on?
Tragically, once a victim gets too old, their captors murder
them or sell them to the highest bidder. Shockingly, traffickers get away with these
atrocities.
We cannot stand by and let these monsters continue their
horrific crimes. Please, help spread awareness.
