With “Sound of Freedom” drawing attention to the child trafficking issue and showing that something can be done to stop it, people are stepping up to help end the scourge of sex slavery, using their personal resources to fight back against the evil of it. Among them is Tim Tebow, the famously Christian athlete who just announced a new campaign to fight back against sex trafficking and rescue child sex trade victims.
Tebow spoke to Fox News Digital in an interview about the initiative, which was announced on Sunday, July 30, World Day Against Trafficking in Persons. Speaking to that outlet, he said that the “unKNOWN” campaign, which seeks to identify and rescue the scores of children caught up in the trade, is meant to help save kids from unspeakably horrible situations.
“This is something that’s near and dear to my heart, even though this is about probably some of the worst stuff you could talk about,” Tebow said. Continuing, he added, “It’s so important that we talk about these things — some things that are very hard to talk about it, but it’s worth it and it’s needed.”
Continuing, Tebow then added that he aims to do so by drawing attention to what is going on, particularly trafficking and “Child Sexual Abuse Materials,” saying, “We have to create more awareness and more people who are standing on the line against what we believe is one of the biggest evils in the world — and that is this fight against trafficking, child trafficking, and against CSAM, which is very similar. And that is Child Sexual Abuse Materials.”
Tebow then note the horrific toll the evil industry takes on children, saying that their childhood is stripped from them as demonic adults do unspeakable things to them. “This is rampant against the world. Boys and girls are not having a childhood,” he said. “They’re being abused. They’re being tortured. There are terrible things that are being done to them,” he continued.
So, he said, he felt called to join in the fight for God and against that evil: “we know that at TTF, that we have been called to this fight. We know that our partners have been called to this fight,” he told Fox News Digital.
He added that his foundation is already involved in the fight, as it is “blessed to be a part of 20 safe homes around the world with 22 in progress. Through our partners and teams, we have been able to help rescue more than 1,000 victims.”
Continuing, he described how his group aims to help those kids it rescues, saying, “We’re called to do it for a lot longer… This is just something that’s so personal to us. Every one of these lives that we know we’re called to help is infinitely valuable to God, we believe — and they better be to us.”
Elaborating on that, he added, “all the boys and girls that we’ve fallen in love with, that we know their story, that we’ve hugged them, that we’ve cared for them and that we’ve been able to give them long-term restoration and counseling and therapy.“
