"He washed me ashore, and he took my pearl. Then left an empty shell of me"
- Fiona Apple, Singer/Songwriter and a survivor of rape at age 12.
We cannot leave trafficked children empty. We have the power to empower. Child sex trafficking is something that needs to be talked about. If this epidemic is not brought to light by abolitionists, and we don't do something to stop it, then darkness and emptiness will remain. We have the power to empower.

Safe Girl
As I cross the water
My dress is getting soaked
And I take it off
Just to show you
I have the power
To baptize myself
Under the water
Under the sky
My pulse is God
And I hold the piece
You’ve been dying for
As I rise
I sparkle in the sunlight
And there is no
Question
As to why I writhed
And cried
It’s because
You were getting under my skin
And now I need you gone
"Breathe in God, breathe out thankfulness. Breathe in love, breathe out gratitude" - D.J.R.

Okay, here is my little advocacy post on rape and abuse : As you all know with child sex trafficking, children are raped and abused. I want child sex trafficking to end so badly because no one should ever be raped or abused for anything which in the case of trafficking includes money. There is no motive that justifies abuse and rape. If someone you know or yourself has been molested or raped SEEK JUSTICE! You are not dirty even though the feeling is constant. It's not your fault even though your brain tells you so.
Here are some resources for help:
911 - if it is an emergency
www.RAINN.org - Rape, Abuse, Incest National Network
www.stopitnow.org
These websites have hotlines where you can call a certified counsellor and talk. RAINN even directs you to your local sexual assault crisis center to make an appointment! If you are a friend of a victim, these sites tell you how to help your friend. Courage and love to you all!
