Generate Hope ~ Human Trafficking in San Diego

Lisa and I had one the the Directors from Generate Hope share at our small group Bible study last night.  This is a little of what we learned...

The Problem

• San Diego has been identified by the FBI as a high intensity child prostitution area.
• San Diego is an international gateway city for sex trafficking.
• At least 1 million American children are involved in prostitution each year.
• Sex trafficking is a multi billion dollar business annually & is the fastest growing business of organized crime.
• Until now, there has been no long-term recovery program available in San Diego specifically for these young women.
