Human Trafficking: A Jewish Issue

DID YOU KNOW? Currently, 12,400 men in Georgia purchase sex from a minor every month. In Israel, there are 30,000 incidents of men purchasing sex each month. Every human being has the right to make their own decision about their body, life, and future. No one should be forced to work or engage in a sex act against their will. As Jews, it is our duty to eliminate this modern-day slavery. Jewish Women’s Fund of Atlanta is chipping away at this issue and engaging in social change by working within our local community, while also supporting anti-trafficking work in Israel. Human trafficking, and especially sex trafficking, is closely tied to our mission of promoting social change and creating positive opportunities for Jewish women and girls. Approximately 100 adolescent females are sexually exploited each night in Georgia, and adolescent females controlled by the child sex trafficking trade are sexually exploited by an adult male on an average of three times per night. This is purely unacceptable. Join us on March 28, 2019 as we address this crisis with experts in the field locally, nationally, and in Israel.
