Prayer service will call attention to human trafficking in Derby season

The public is invited to take part in a prayer service May 3 at 4 p.m. to call attention to victims of human trafficking and urge an end to the demand for trafficked humans.

The service will be held at Jefferson Square Park in downtown Louisville at Sixth and Jefferson streets.

“Human trafficking would not exist unless there was a demand,” said a news release from the People Against Trafficking Humans (PATH) Coalition. “A part of this year’s prayer will focus on this demand and identify some ways that we can all work to counter the demand for human beings to be exploited for their labor or sex.”

The news announcement says that ads on “escort friendly” websites peak during major sporting events.

It concludes, “There must be a change in conversation that promotes human dignity and an agreement that purchasing another human being for sex is wrong and never consensual.”
