More Than Just a Number (D276)

More Than Just a Number (D276)

Stats are plastered on the white figures of young girls and boys cut out of foam board.

The truth is harsh, the statistics hard to read, the reality cruel.

No one wants to look at it, but a group of young people are becoming the victims in a drama for just one night…
to feel, share, and move the audience to action.

They are brave and powerful, willing to step into the shoes of those young girls and boys
who lived trapped day in and day out.

There is a battle raging for our young people. Will you step into the fight?

Today’s images are shots of the drama team preparing for tomorrow night’s event at 12Stone for Street Grace. They have been rehearsing for over a month. Many have written poems or produced artwork to represent how they feel about the struggle to save our young people from the slavery of sex trafficking. They are warriors fighting for their brothers and sisters trapped on the street. They inspire me.

To learn more, you can visit Street Grace or check out my Voices of the Victims photo series.
