Ways to Fight Trafficking (adapted from various sources including: http://projectrescue.com/5-ways-you-can-fight-sexual-slavery/)

Pray
-Set aside time to pray for those in slavery
-Organize a prayer group
Give
-Support and/or fund-raise for a ministry that fights trafficking through prevention, rescue, and after-care. 
-Host a fund-raise party where people can buy products that vulnerable women make to help prevent trafficking
-Sponsor a child who is vulnerable to being trafficked
Serve/Educate
-Tell your friends, family, church, etc. about what you have learned about trafficking
-Host a documentary night or a book study 
-Get involved with organizations that fight trafficking
