Over The Edge: A Bold Step in the Fight Against Human Trafficking
Human trafficking is a heinous crime that affects approximately 50 million people around the world. It’s a modern-day form of slavery that preys on the vulnerable, exploiting them for forced labor and/or sexual exploitation. However, there are organizations and individuals committed to eradicating this horrific practice and restoring survivors.
REHOPE has been tirelessly working to combat human trafficking through providing adult women and children a safe place to heal and find restoration. On October 7th they’re going “Over The Edge” for survivors from 9am to 4pm.
“How can I help survivors?”
is one of the most frequently asked questions after learning about the reality of human trafficking.
Over The Edge is an incredible family friendly, fun-filled event that everyone can enjoy for free to support survivors and be a part of even if not rappelling
