CAROLINA BEACH, NC (WECT) - The organizers of the
Center of Redemption are educating communities in the Port City about the sex
trade.
Dozens of people filled Carolina Beach Presbyterian Church
Monday to listen to a firsthand account of sex trafficking from a survivor. The
Center of Redemption is currently working with the teenager to reestablish
herself.
Church member Virginia Parman said she looks forward to
working with the center to raise awareness and eventually wipe out an issue
that's often overlooked.
"I don't think will be able to eradicate it completely but we
can certainly put a dent in it, and that's what we're trying to do here,"
she said.
Parman said she was glad to see a mix of men, woman and younger
people in the audience Monday night. Organizers told the crowd that the center
already has a relationship with local law enforcement.
