Speaker: Devin Payne | Executive Director of Street Hope TN
Topic: Every 2 minutes a child is sold for sex in the United States and the average age of that child is 13. This is Domestic Minor Sex Trafficking, the commercial sexual exploitation of children in the United States in exchange for something of value, like money, food, shelter or drugs, and it’s happening here in our community. Street Hope TN is a non-profit organization that exists to eliminate the sexual exploitation and trafficking of these children in East TN through awareness, prevention, restoration, and prayer, and is currently working to open the first safe home in East TN for child survivors of trafficking.
