I’m riding for girls like Jayashri.* Traffickers attempted to sell Jayashiri into forced prostitution – but IJM investigators and local police were able to rescue her as pimps negotiated her first sale. She was brought to a loving aftercare home before ever being abused, and today she’s doing great. She reminds me that it doesn’t have to be this way – we can stop trafficking before it starts. Today, there are other girls whose first sale is being negotiated. But I believe we can change things, so I’m giving Five Weeks for Freedom.
