For a number of years Christian organisations have rightly campaigned on the issue of global human trafficking, leading national and international debate on the issue. Organisations such as International Justice Mission, Stop the Traffik, and CARE have raised awareness of both trafficking within and outside the Church. Most recently, a group of Christian musicians came together to produce the song Twenty Seven Million. The song tells the true story of a girl trafficked from Eastern Europe into London's sex trade. In Scotland the issue is also gaining momentum both within and outside the Christian community. Recently the Scottish Parliament held a debate looking into the extent of human trafficking in Scotland and the possibility of legislating to strengthing the law. Subsequently the Equal Opportunities Committee brought together a number of key stakeholders to begin the process of developing a holistic strategy for tackling trafficking in Scotland.

Pray: that the Scottish Parliament will strengthen the law legislating against trafficking. (Ps.119:53)
