Description / Abstract

Christianity is meant to be a beacon of hope and good news to the marginalized. One group that is marginalized throughout local communities in the United States are the victims and survivors of Commercial Sexual Exploitation (CSE). In the past few years, it has become popular for churches to get involved in anti-trafficking efforts, but CSE survivors have reported that while some ministries are beneficial, other ministries are harmful, and most are nonexistent. These problematic responses have the potential of harming CSE victims, protecting perpetrators, and sustaining the crime of CSE within the local community. This paper will focus on laying a scriptural foundation for God-honoring and survivor-informed anti-trafficking engagement. Using biblical accounts of sexual assault and exploitation, a multi-week Bible study curriculum is provided to inform a Christian perspective and approach to anti-trafficking work in the local community
