iEMPOWER!
Mission
Did you know that a child is lured or forced into trafficking every 26 seconds?
That’s about 140 kids an hour!
Over 3 thousand kids a day!
And more than 1 million kids a year!
Did you know that child trafficking is a global problem?
It’s not just happening overseas, but also in every state across America.
iEMPOWER! was created to raise awareness of child trafficking and to support survivors.
Doesn’t every child deserve to sparkle?
