Rescuing 2 million sexually exploited and trafficked children, one at a time.CRA takes a fourfold approach to eradicating child sex exploitation:1) Conducting and funding rescue missions with our coalition partners, including tactical rescue teams that have the highest levels of training.2) Developing and presenting law enforcement trainings around the country.3) Informing young people about the dangers and patterns of trafficking through our youth prevention and empowerment program, Backyard Broadcast.4) Public awareness and education. We provide awareness about child sex exploitation and human trafficking in general on our website, blog, and social media, as well as through community education events.Child Rescue Association of North America was founded by husband and wife team, Stephanie and Jess Larsen. Stephanie belongs to a family plagued by this type exploitation for four generations until her mom, Lorrie, bravely took a stand and stopped the cycle of abuse."Lorrie worked the streets too. But unlike the generations before her, she broke the chain, making a better life for her daughter. As a result, Stephanie is the first woman in her family in the past 100 years not to sell her body, and now she wants to protect other young women the way her mother protected her. ‘Girls are being purchased in our own neighborhoods, but no one sees them,' she says. ‘As a society, we have got to open our eyes.' She hopes her family drama, as raw and unforgiving as it is, will be a wake-up call for all of us." - Glamour MagazineClick here to see the full Glamour article: http://glmr.me/1D4JI9l
