Prayer is powerful, and a crucial aspect in the fight for justice. Here are some general prayer requests that are on my heart relating to the issue of human trafficking.
- Orphans are at particular risk of human trafficking. Many orphanages only look after children up to the age of 16. Pray that the children are educated about how to avoid being coerced into an employment situation that takes away their freedom. Pray that they get the chance to live the life that God intends for them. Prayer with particular reference to the Romanian orphanages of Beclean that thousands of children call home.
- Poverty forces many to make desperate choices that put them in dangerous situations. Many women from Eastern Europe and South-East Asia in particular, are offered jobs working as domestic help or in the entertainment industry. Many will be coerced into the sex industry because of accrued debt or drug addiction. Pray for rehabilitation centre Beginning of Life in Moldova as they use biblical principles and prayer to rehabilitate women rescued from commercial sexual exploitation.
- Pray that governments, particularly in the developed work, will wake up to the reality that legalising brothels does little to protect women and much to encouraging a culture of immorality.
