Targeted for Profit:
An Educators’ Forum on Human Trafficking
March 12, 2015
Welcome
On behalf of Hollowell Church, we want to welcome you to our first forum event
focusing on issues of community concern in Franklin and
Washington Counties.
Human trafficking is a human rights issue that is only recently
coming to light here in the safe havens of small town America,
but it has been an ongoing and developing problem for some
time. It is our hope that by bringing it into the light, developing
awareness and exposing its true nature as modern day slavery,
we will be able to make a difference and serve notice to the
darkness of societal evil that we disagree.
This forum is one of our first steps in combating human
trafficking in our region. We have chosen to focus upon
educators because we see you as front line warriors in the battle. We have an
opportunity to partner with you in informing, equipping and empowering those
most vulnerable; those who spend a great deal of time under your tutelage and
care.
It is our privilege to partner with you in bringing awareness and in providing
resources that will assist you and your organizations in the effort to protect the
children of our culture and stop those who would target them for profit.
– Dee Martin, Worship Pastor

$32 Billion
SEX TRAFFICKING
Difference between sex trafficking and prostitution is that the trafficking victim is either under the age of 18, or is an adult being controlled by someone else through mental intimidation, physical force, fraud, or coercion.
• The amount of money made from human trafficking
each year is more than the combined revenue
of Walmart, Chevron, General Motors, General
Electric, and Bank of America in 2009.
• Walmart pulled in only about a tenth of what is
generated from slavery. Human trafficking is
massive, and not just in human terms; but in cold,
hard cash.
Many adults who engage in prostitution do so as a result of poverty and lack of economic opportunities. This is very sad and they need assistance from service providers. However, it is not sex trafficking.

SEX TRAFFICKING
SEX TRAFFICKING
Men and boys are victims of sex trafficking as well as women and girls.
 A person victimized through sexual abuse is not always a victim of sex trafficking.
 A person victimized through sex trafficking is a victim of sexual abuse.
 In order for it to be sex trafficking the victim must have been abused in exchange for money, goods, debt forgiveness, or something else of value.
