Diocese of East Carolina Episcopal Church Women Hear About Human Trafficking
Episcopal Church Women throughout the Diocese of East Carolina traveled to Elizabeth City on April 27 to attend the ECW’s 122nd Annual meeting. President Jo Anne Kilday presided at the meeting held at historic Christ Church.
Guest speaker for the annual meeting was Pam Strickland of Eastern North Carolina “Stop Human Trafficking Now”. Citing the millennium Goal of empowering women, MS Strickland asserted that empowering women will help stamp out poverty. Using scriptural text, United nations definitions, and a wealth of experience and learning, Ms. Strickland said that trafficking (recruitment, harboring, transportation, provision, or obtaining of a person for labor or services) can happen in our own home towns. Where are the victims? Ms. Strickland listed bars, poverty situations, in massage parlors, strip clubs, escort services, near military bases, at truck stops, at convention centers, in migrant work camps, at the furniture market, at sport events, and tourist destinations.
Ms Strickland advised against intervening personally. There is a National Hotline (1-888-3737-888).
Ms. Strickland asked, “Do we have a responsibility to do something?” Then she used Isaiah 1:17 as an answer.
Learn to do right. Seek justice. Encourage the oppressed; give the orphan his rights, plead the widow’s cause.
