Did you read that?! There are 50 million enslaved people that exist RIGHT NOW! Some experts estimate that roughly 100 million people have been enslaved throughout history. This means that nearly half of all slaves in human history are CURRENTLY in slavery. As uncomfortable as this topic is, human trafficking and modern slavery are arguably among the greatest evils of our time, happening overseas and right here on American soil—far more than people think. And we need to do something about it. That is why I am actively seeking partnerships with organizations like the Tim Tebow Foundation, who continue to do incredible work to save the lives of these innocent people and give them hope for a beautiful future outside of enslavement. More to come on this from me, but in the meantime, PLEASE consider researching this more and donating to the fight against this terrible evil that persists across all borders, races, religions, cultures, genders, etc. This is something we all can fight together. 

What we're seeing here is terrible and needs to be corrected, the system overhauled, the public perception changed on who owes who what, and who parents who. Yes, it's ongoing abuse. If we can get the system changed to automatic baseline 50/50 parenting rather than discuss %custody .. if we remove all decree nisi battles over money .. no expectations of child maintenance, no enquiry of who earns what or when, or loss of superannuation .. we would have less women suffering in this way .. and less men becoming destitute and taking their lives from also suffering this way as it more often has been. What I read is precisely the plight of men as a standard and a majority of cases .. good decent men. I'm not making this a Men's Rights matter.. I'm saying this because it enables non discriminatory abuse and feeds a system that financially bleeds people out to the point where they cannot just start over and rebuild independent of the other whilst trying to get access to and continue to parent their children who are innocent in all this.

Inspiring to see the expansion of this crucial initiative, lead by Dean Henrico. It's a powerful reminder of how businesses can play a vital role in creating safer communities.

People who care for survivors of sexual or violent crimes and trauma may not always recognise the value of the support they give. They might believe that their unconditional love for the survivor negates any need for additional assistance, or they might even feel responsible for the situation. However, it's important to understand that caregivers in these situations are deserving of help and support, including financial relief. Restitute is here to offer practical guidance and assistance in connecting third-party victims of crime with the resources they require and the help they deserve. buff.ly/3S3st9z

Look out for the survivors, and listen when they speak. How trafficking presents each time is nothing unique. It comes in many guises, and it kills more than you know. You have a voice to influence where others cannot go. By joining hands, we can end this epidemic once and for all. Let us work together to empower lives, uphold human rights, and ensure a future where freedom is a right, not a privilege, for all. People trapped in modern slavery are often dehumanized and treated as mere objects controlled by others. This devastating reality can make it incredibly difficult for them to trust others or form relationships, even with those who aim to help. Many live in complete isolation, grappling with a profound lack of self-confidence and the heavy burden of shame and stigma associated with their status as survivors.

💡 Did You Know? 💡 Human trafficking is a $150 billion industry worldwide, and Texas is one of the top states for reported cases in the U.S. At Treasured Vessels Foundation, we are working to change that by providing safe housing, specialized care, and a path to healing for survivors. Here are some important facts: • 79% of trafficking cases involve forced situations. • The average age a young person is first impacted in the U.S. is just 12-14 years old. • Survivors often face significant trauma, requiring specialized long-term support. At TVF, we are committed to restoring hope and transforming lives by offering a supportive community and resources survivors need to thrive. Together, we can fight against exploitation and make a difference! 🔗 Learn more about how you can help at https://lnkd.in/gt93PE7h. #DidYouKnow #AwarenessMatters #FightForFreedom #SupportSurvivors #TreasuredVesselsFoundation #TVFFacts
