Hope for Justice training day

at Wessex Christian Fellowship

2.30 pm – 6.30 pm, Sunday 19 February 2012

The What...

Hope for Justice is a UK charity set up in 2007 to rescue the victims of human trafficking, to see the criminals brought to justice and to see the restoration of lives of those who have been devastated.

They have teams of highly skilled professionals carrying out investigations across the country.

Hope for Justice are seeing amazing results but need our support to continue this dedicated work.

The Why...

There are around 88,000 women and children in Britain today involved in forced prostitution, 70% have been trafficked, the average age is 14! Children as young as 3 are being abused! A staggering 1.2 million people are trafficked around the world every year into the sex industry and bonded labour! It’s happening in every town and city in the UK – they are hidden in plain sight.

Please take just 3 minutes to view this link to hear what Hope for Justice have to say!

We want to be part of the solution to help free the captives – we need your help too!

The How...

We are delighted that the Hope for Justice team will be holding a training afternoon for those wanting to be 'actively' involved with the Basingstoke 'Act for Justice' group.

They will cover topics such as:

• How to effectively link the local churches together - network-prayer
• What can be done on the legal front – petitioning/ lobbying MP’s
• How can we spot the sign/ How can we raise awareness
• How to run an affective ‘Act for Justice’ group – get the most out of the willing helpers
• Fundraising – tips, local sponsorships

The YOU...

So if your heart is touched by the horror of human trafficking and you are moved into action (but don't know what to do next) then this day is for YOU! Come and find out how you can get involved.

All that is required for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing (Edmund Burke 1727-97)
