 I am an intern for an organization called Backyard Broadcast. We are launching our first annual youth driven campaign to end the sexual exploitation of children in North America. We’ve designed a 25 minute presentation that educates students about  child trafficking in their very own city.

Backyard Broadcast is an organization that is led and driven by youth and we would really like to invite your students to get involved. This program is a really great way for students to build their resumes, gain quality leadership experience and training and there are college scholarships available for those who are involved. Those that are chosen to be involved will be invited to an all-expense paid leadership training in Salt Lake City this summer. 




Backyard Broadcast- High School Campaign (Child Rescue)

Human trafficking is the practice of buying and selling human beings. It is currently the second largest criminal industry in the world, netting over $43 billion each year (Bales, 1999). The most horrific form of trafficking is child sexual slavery. Every day, children are bought and sold for sex; and not just in developing countries. The exact numbers of victims has been debated but recent research indicated that each year in America over 100,000 children are exploited in our own cities and neighborhoods; at strip clubs, on web sites and in homes (Smith, Vardaman & Snow, 2009). Prostitution is perhaps the most common form of sex trafficking in our country, and while many view it as a victimless crime, the sad truth is that a large number of the prostitutes are merely children; the average age of entrance into prostitution being only 13 years old (Smith, Vardaman & Snow, 2009).
This has to end.
We have started a drastic plan of action creating large scale concerts, public events and media productions in order to generate enough public outrage to effect permanent societal change in our two countries.
Our empowering events provide promotion and funding for front-line task forces. These are Non Governmental Organizations's and law enforcement agencies that are fighting this war for our children's safety from predators.
We need your help, please join the revolution now!

It was after viewing the documentary 
 Sex & Money: A National Search for Human Worth,
that I decided I wanted to do whatever I could to lend my voice to such a worthy and important cause.



About the Film

Sex+Money: A National Search for Human Worth is a documentary about domestic minor sex trafficking and the modern-day abolitionist movement fighting to stop it. Since September 2009, the crew has traveled to over 30 states and conducted more than 75 interviews with federal agents, victims, politicians, activists, psychologists, porn-stars, among others.
