Every 2 minutes a child is sold as a sex slave. And everyday we fight against the reality that child sex slavery exists in our world. Phrases like, 'child rape', '8 year old prostitute', and 'cigarette burns on her back' should never be uttered in a sentence. It is up to us to tell their story. We must be heard. We must not stop. We must pursue justice. Let us be clear, this is not just an issue in the world at large. No! Child sex slavery has crept into our own backyard. In Atlanta. The city that ranks among the top in America for sex trafficking. Innocence Atlanta was started because we believe that you can make a difference. We believe that every child has the right to be a child. We believe that innocence can be restored. Very simply, our mission is to see awareness for child sex trafficking increase in our community. Our plan is to connect you with organizations already making a difference and inspire you to use your talents to spread the word. The truth is, the most powerful tool we could ever give you is a tool you already possess: Your voice. The question is not, 'How can I help?' No. The question is, 'How will I choose to use my voice to stop child sex slavery in Atlanta?' Underneath our skin, and in our souls, peace is absent. Desperation gnaws at our hearts, as we search for a voice that will speak. A voice that feels. A voice that will not stop. A voice for our community. This voice is your voice. Your voice is your music. It is your art. It is your creativity. It is every heart-felt creation shared with those around you. As we speak, Atlanta will not be able to look away. Atlanta will have to face the fight. Let us fight to speak. Fight for their freedom. Fight for their innocence. We believe your voice is the answer.
