The Recycled Child Project

I met the founder of the Recycled Child Project at a party for the SOLD project a few weeks/months ago. I was really impressed by her passion to reach the boys that are forced into sex trafficking and are abused by white western men.

For as long as I have been passionate about fighting human trafficking I have been saddened and frustrated by the idea that this is a female problem. (It often gets thrown in with my general state of being a feminist.) The reality is that if we label this a woman's issue than all of the men and boys that are trafficked are forgotten. 30% of trafficking victims are adult men, there are not statistics for boys because they are included in the sum for women and children. Male victims need prevention plans, and after care plans that are appropriate for their trauma.

I am excited that this organization has popped up and they will be serving the boys in Thailand. A good friend of mine is going to be traveling to Thailand to work with them this summer. I can't wait to hear her stories. If you are interested in supporting their work, please follow this link.
