Thanks to Lutheran Advocacy Ministry in PA for sharing this action.
Safe Harbor
Children in our Commonwealth who are sexually exploited by traffickers become re-victimized in the juvenile justice system when they are arrested and prosecuted for prostitution and other “masking crimes” arising directly out of their sexual exploitation.
Pennsylvania Lutherans have been working for years to advance legislation to further protect these vulnerable youth. Senate Bill 554 was passed unanimously by the Senate. It is finally poised for a vote by the full House. Urge your representative to support this vital legislation that would redirect child victims of sex trafficking into appropriate services at https://secure2.convio.net/elca/site/Advocacy?cmd=display&page=UserAction&id=1058.
You don’t need to be Lutheran to act!
Urge your House member to act quickly, so these most vulnerable children are spared further harm.
There is no such thing as a child prostitute
