Selena Gomez learned about sex trafficking horrors: girls crawling over bodies, being sold for $6
The Christian Post ^ | January 3, 2019 | Stoyan Zaimov

Singer Selena Gomez learned firsthand about some of the horrifying atrocities of sexual trafficking during her A21 internship, Christian author Ann Voskamp revealed.

Gomez, who opened up about her volunteer work with the global anti–human trafficking nonprofit in an interview with Elle back in September, was taking notes when abolitionist Christine Caine shared of a grizzly discovery in Istanbul, Turkey.

Caine, who leads A21, explained how 30 bloated bodies of young girls were discovered in a shipping container in Istanbul, with another 28 “gasping for one breath of air that isn’t thick with the stench of rotting evil.”

She pointed out that millions of human trafficking victims are shipped in such manners around the world to be sold for sex on the streets.

“Caine tells those of us seated around this table in Greece that there would be no rescue for those 28 North African girls crawling out over bodies and this smothering premature grave,” Voskamp, who was present with Gomez and a team of abolitionists, recalled.

“There would only be police-uniformed men dragging them off to locked, windowless rooms on the back side of graffitied streets where, for 14 hell-on-earth days, none of those huddled girls would be offered any light, food, or hope — only bone-cracking beatings,” she added.

I go through the stages of grieving whenever I read about child torture. Right now I am in the anger stage. I usually get there in about 2 minutes.

Here is link to Caine’s interview and the organization she co-started. No doubt trafficking is Satanic.

A21 Abolish Slavery Everywhere, FOREVER

I was just thinking about posting the verses explaining that Jesus frees us slaves and breaks chains then wondered if the traffickers and participants weren’t taking their hatred of their own slavery on the girls. I wonder if they even know they are slaves, too! Satan is so deceptive.

Wouldn’t it be great if the UN, Democrats and media actually gave a damn about thes young women? Do they not because they are out of sight, black or present no political advantage in their salvation? Or all of the above?

Bingo. Gomez isn't truly "woke" until she realizes it is happening in her own country and her liberal hollyweird compatriots are willfully enabling it.

The other day the CA sherrif said it the way it should be said. Instead of saying human trafficking he said “The trafficking of little girls for sex”. That is straight out plain talk that should be used

Probably not as many as are shipped in containers or flown in. Privately they could go by helo to a yacht or ship with helo pad. Like the hospital ships....

Great political cause. Trump cares about this. Maybe Selena Gomez can join Kanye West at a press conference and tell people that Trump isn’t actually a monster and that he’s actually doing a lot of good.

Nobody has to look any further than their own city just about anywhere in the world to know that their are sickos who do this to their own children as well as others. Pizzagate or something similar is going on all over the world. If you dont know or dont believe me I am happy for you but I know by mutual friends a couple of women that have gone through this as children, Thank God He rescued them and healed those two but they are just two of many!

Yep... our littles are literally disappearing off our streets and I can’t help but believe they are going over the Southern and Northern boarders... onto ships and planes bound for a very short life of immoral service. I pray for our littles. I pray for our leadership. I pray for the second coming of Jesus to set things straight again.

YUP! The girls that died were from North Africa. I vaguely remember the slogan held by Mrs Hussein when the girls were kidnapped by Boko Haran. A lot got done then, eh?

OH, read about Chilean girls being kidnapped in the 70s and adopted illegally.

Great point. I usually write child sex trafficking because it isn’t only little girls, but little Bubba’s.

I think I will copy and paste “The trafficking of little girls for sex” onto the same document I have this quote so it is faster. It’s on the top,

This quote of mine, the innocent blood was from child sacrifice and the consequence nationally was invasion. There was a reprieve, but it is inevitable.

“Surely at the command (mouth) of the LORD it came upon Judah, to remove them from His sight because of the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he had done, and also for the innocent blood which he shed, for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood; AND THE LORD WOULD NOT FORGIVE.” [All caps mine] 2 Kings 24: 3 &4.

Yes, he is doing a WHOLE lot of good against traffickers and pedophiles. Arrests are up globally and, of course, here.

Yes, I do know, and do believe you. I join you in thanking God for their rescue and healing!

The fastest way to impact this is to arrest and summarily imprison the men going to these brothels. As long as men know that not much will happen to them for “simply being customers,” it won’t stop. Until the men are afraid, it won’t stop.

How hard it must be for Him to see it and not be able to return in wrath....YET. I think of Him with the children and this stuff really breaks my heart as much as pre-born sacrifice. I believe the sacrifice and trafficking are correlated in regards to social/cultural immorality.

Could be why the prison reform bill was signed into law. Making room in prisons? What’s worse than torturing a child?

I believe this is happening all over the place, but those who refuse to secure our southern border are complicit in allowing/enabling it to continue in some part.
