The most prevalent form of human trafficking that results in servitude is the recruitment and transport of people into the international sex trade industry. Sex slavery involves children at an estimated 58 percent of all trafficking activities. Almost 1.7 million children are exploited in sex trafficking. Victims of sexual slavery are often manipulated into believing that they are being relocated to work in legitimate forms of employment.

There are thousands of young girls in Asia who are trafficked each year from their home country. Most of these teens are living in poverty without jobs or education. A large percentage are orphans. The governments of Asia readily admit that poor teens are subjected to trafficking. Most cannot go to school because their relatives are too poor to pay the school tuition. We find these teens living with a grandparent or relative, who are too poor to provide for their care and they are subjected to traffickers. We need sponsors for teenagers to provide a foster homes or safe houses, Bible teaching, vocational education, health care and other necessities of life.
