Along with knowing the dangers and warning signs associated with becoming trafficking targets, the psychology of victims needs to be understood in order to help them not only break free physically but to help their minds heal. Rescue requires much more than removal from the slavery conditions. This essential understanding is gained through the short stories and messages featured throughout the book of many trafficking survivors, all featured under the anonymous moniker, “One Survivor.”

Call to Freedom’s parent guide is originated and primarily written by Ruth Atkins, the grandmother of a young woman who was trafficked. Ruth, referred to in the book as “Gma,” uses her experience and wisdom gained from helping her granddaughter through her journey, along with extensive research, to teach readers those things that make a difference. Alongside Ruth, Mary, a survivor herself after being trafficked by the Cartel, includes eye-opening and valuable lessons in her sections titled “Mary’s Moments.”

From politicians to educators, families, and supporters, this guide provides a greater understanding of how and why our children are targeted and the tactics traffickers use to ensnare them into this atrocious bondage.
