1 hour: 10 min Sweden – has a progressive form of legislation to erradicate sex trafficking – Kajsa Wahlberg – aimed at stopping prostitution because they understand it to be a form of violence against women – they arrest men for buying sex – jail time
It’s a human right not to be in prostitution – not to exploit, buy & sell people for sexual exploitation.
Women in Sweden in prostitution are not arrested. They are offered services for escape, pimps & traffickers are arrested. Sweden protects the sanctity of human life.
Sweden has the lowest rate of trafficking in the European Union.

The young people who made this movie:
“We have been struck with a wound that we pray we will never recover from.”
William Wilberforce, 1798-1879:
“If to be feeling alive to the suffering of my fellow creatures is to be a fanatic, then I am one of the most incurable fanatics ever permitted to be at large.”
Wilberforce’s 3 most effective ways to combat slavery:
1. Prayer – slavery is a spiritual battle
2. Awareness – tell others about this injustice
3. Money – support for organizations working in the field
Also, Liz Wheeler talking to Eduardo Verástegui , the producer of Sound of Freedom:
Sound of Freedom made waves across America as it topped the box office on July 4 and has made over 150 billion to date.
Eduardo: “We need a movement. . .”
