MEDIA ADVISORY, April 29 /Christian Newswire/ -- We share the dismay of others at the recent photos taken by Annie Leibovitz of Miley Cyrus. Any media outlet that exhibits a child as a sex object needs to understand the degree to which this type of behavior is harming our society as a whole and putting our young women at risk.
Human Sex Trafficking, the fastest growing criminal enterprise in the world, is making BILLIONS of dollars from the sale of children for sex. This criminal enterprise could not flourish if it weren't for the huge DEMAND that exists by our global society for a sexual encounter with a young woman or child. Human Trafficking has become the second largest criminal enterprise in the world, and yet it continues to grow unchecked as traffickers who sexually exploit these children for money cannot seem to find enough young women to feed the insatiable appetite of these abusers. Approximately half of all victims of sex slavery are under the age of 18, and the trend is for these victims to get younger all the time.
For this reason we are calling Annie Leibovitz, Vanity Fair magazine, and the parents of Miley Cyrus to task for their lack of leadership and good judgment in this publicity stunt. There are literally millions of young women trapped in the living hell of sex slavery as our media continues to blur the lines and increasingly treat our young women as sex objects. Nobody knows how these pictures and the countless others we see across the web, TV, movies and magazines will affect the perpetrators of these crimes. All we know is that this cancer is spreading out of control, and we need to take drastic steps to curb the appetites of a society out of control.
Free For Life Ministries, Inc. is a faith-based 501(c)3 organization based in Nashville, Tennessee that raises funds for safe houses worldwide that have a proven track record in the rescue, restoration, and reintegration of victims of sex slavery.
