Human Trafficking Girls - Dominican Republic

Destiny Rescue – Dominican Republic Restoration Home: (Mission Network News) A lot of young women and girls are brought across the border from Haiti into the Dominican Republic because adult prostitution is legal.  Out of all the countries in the Caribbean, the Dominican Republic has the highest rate of human trafficking.

It’s a sad truth that’s been encouraged by both the deep poverty in these two countries and the high tourism the DR experiences. For these girls and women coming out of the sex trade or forced labor, their lives are broken and their skills are few. They need time, healing, and genuine love. That’s why a safe, restoration home is needed.

Partnership with Family Christian Stores

The restoration home, Dominican Republic Restoration Home, is the result of Destiny Rescue’s partnership with Family Christian and the support of Family Christian’s staff and customers. The work for this home began nearly two years ago in November of 2014.  See the full story here… mnnonline.org

Human Trafficking

This book examines all forms of human trafficking globally, revealing the operations of the trafficking business and the nature of the traffickers themselves. Using a historical and comparative perspective, it demonstrates that there is more than one business model of human trafficking and that there are enormous variations in human trafficking in different regions of the world.

Drawing on a wide body of academic research – actual prosecuted cases, diverse reports and field work and interviews conducted by the author over the last sixteen years in Asia, Latin America, Africa, Europe and the former socialist countries – Louise Shelley concludes that human trafficking will grow in the twenty-first century as a result of economic and demographic inequalities in the world, the rise of conflicts and possibly global climate change.
