Sex slavery is at its lowest numbers, now more than ever. But, that, in no way, means it no longer exists.

In rural Manitoba, Canada, there is a safe house called H.O.M.E. (Hands of Mother Earth). This house hosts girls who have been violently disturbed victims of sexual abuse. A young survivor, Lauren Chopek, spoke out when she was recently interviewed by CNN. Chopek was 14 when she ran away from home and was lured into a hotel by an older man.

She spoke of the time as "painful" and "confusing", all true things that still hold its weight in her today. It has been five years, since she went missing, then returned home, and holes have been left where there once was a whole person.

"There were times where I didn't know if it was my fault or his," Chopek painfully recalls her account as a victim.

This is an issue that cannot be forgotten. Hundreds of girls everyday, all over the world, are being lured and sold, against their will, into a life they could only wish would never exist. Even in the most unlikely and civilized of places, we need to be reminded that our world still has work to do.
