Food for the Hungry's City Initiatives Branded & Streetlight

Branded / Streetlight is a united effort to eradicate child sex slavery. Our conviction is that three-tired strategy of awareness, legislation, and aftercare will have a sustainable impact in ending this heinous crime.

BRANDED - Both a documentary and a broader awareness movement, ‘branded’ seeks to raise the level of public understanding on the issue of child prostitution, or child sex slavery. In order to make this issue a priority to be addressed at legislative and judicial levels, an educated and convinced public must be resourced and mobilized in order to generate the necessary attention. We hope to accomplish this through screenings of the documentary, advocacy events, tangible action opportunities, and public education programs. If people don’t know that slavery exists in their own backyard, they will not know to stand against it. For more information visit www.brandedphx.com.

StreetLight - With an estimated 300,000 children trafficked within the U.S. each year (Department of Justice), there is an overwhelming need to address the existing victims of this heinous issue. Suffering from severe psychological, physical, emotional and spiritual trauma, rescued victims of child sex slavery need a place to be treated for their unique and complex issues. ‘StreetLight’ is a collaboration of churches that are working with law enforcement and courts to establish such a facility that is secure and rehabilitative.
