Prevent the Exploitation and Trafficking of Women and Children

Human Trafficking PreventionWorld Concern’s Women of Purpose links North American women with poor, marginalized women in some of the poorest countries in the world, bringing healing, restoration, opportunity and freedom.

Here’s how you can combat poverty, fight human trafficking and prevent victimization of the world’s poorest women and children:

Know the plight of women in poverty
From the villages of Kenya to the slums of Bangladesh, women and girls suffer the most from poverty and lack of opportunity. As they seek to feed their families, they can be conned by promises of quick loans and well-paid jobs. But this is often a trap, and many get caught in a nightmare of exorbitant debt, blackmail, prostitution, and even slavery. Understanding how this makes them vulnerable is the first step in helping.

Give to Women of Purpose
As women in North America, we are extraordinarily blessed. Most of us have ample food, shelter, and access to education. As a Woman of Purpose, your monthly donation of $35 will bring life, opportunity and hope to women and children.

Pray for the women and children we serve
Pray for our work with the poor and vulnerable, and that those we serve sould experience the love of Christ through our help. Please ask others in your circle of influence to pray too.

Engage with others
Share your knowledge and passion with other women, raise awareness, and help raise funds for micro-lending, education, safe haven and rescue programs, child sponsorship, or orphans and vulnerable children.

Every month as a member, your $35 commitment will:

  1. Teach children about the dangers of trafficking and
    tell them how protect themselves
  2. Provide a basic education for children who would
    otherwise not be in school
  3. Equip children to learn a vocational skill and safely
    earn an income

Join Women of Purpose today, and start making a difference in the lives of women and children living in extreme poverty.
