Women At Risk
There is a war raging against women. Rivers of tears run as a hidden
gendercide sweeps the globe. At WAR, International, we unveil what’s
hidden and reclaim what’s beautiful.
Our war has victims disguised as statistics like:
800,000 people illegally trafficked across borders in the 365 days of
our year--half are children.
70% of trafficked women end up as sexual slaves chained to beds of
horror.
In the United States, human trafficking is the fastest growing
organized crime.
The FBI estimates that 100,000-300,000 children are missing.
300 children are sold in Atlanta, GA, each month.
Newborn babies are purchased for $25.
Every 15 seconds in one city alone, a girl is brutally circumcised.
Honor killings and acid attacks are disguised as accidents.
Every two to four years, 114-200 million women go demographically
missing.
At Women At Risk, International, we know God sees our suffering and
weeps. We’re fighting against fourteen high-risk issues such as
slavery, exploitation, disease, and abuse in many different countries.
We give voice to those who have been silenced, and a new life to live.
Every missing woman has a story. Through WAR, Int’l, you have the power
to help women be rescued from slavery, redeemed by love, restored to
circles of protection, empowered to work with dignity, and unveiled.
How will you respond?
It’s as simple as shopping at our WAR Chest Party, which offers
international gifts, handcrafted by rescued or at-risk women. Shopping
for these products will help women regain lives of dignity. Together,
we will wrap arms of love and whisper worth back into the hearts and
lives of millions. You have the power to help us exchange tears of
sorrow for tears of joy.
Join us in spreading the message of hope! Plan now to attend the WAR
Chest Party hosted by the EUM Church Women’s Ministry on Saturday, July
25 from 10:00 a.m. to Noon. All are invited to come and mingle, meet
new friends and enjoy hors d’oeuvres, cold drinks and great coffee.
Bring your friends, family members or even a group from your church!
Together, we can make a difference!
