Georgia Church Fights Sex-trafficking
Members of the North Avenue Presbyterian Church in Atlanta have been working hard over the last four years to help reduce sex-trafficking in the city.
Church members leaed through a mayor's report in 2005 that teenage prostitutes had begun working within a few steps of the church's doors.
Since then the church has helped build a wide-ranging coalition with the goal of eradicating child prostitution from the streets of Atlanta.
Included in the fight are Presbyterians, Catholics and nonbelievers, conservative Christians and feminists, Jews and Muslims, and others who have united over the issue despite their differences.
The group has taken the campaign to the Legislature and the courts. The nonprofit Juvenile Justice Fund estimates that 200 to 300 children are pimped in Atlanta each month.
