When Silence Ends: Stories and Art from Survivors of Human Trafficking takes on the BILLION DOLLAR human trafficking industry through the stories of those who have escaped and become the voice for the MILLIONS still trapped in this modern-day hell. Volume II is a continuation of these stories and educational tools needed to understand the truth around human trafficking.

Rebecca Cary, founder of Hands of Justice, has compiled first-person stories from Human Trafficking Survivors into this high-quality, full-color 8x10 book. The book is organized into chapters that teach about trafficking; what it is thought to be; what it really is; how it is happening right in front of us, and how few ever escape.

Less than 1-2% of victims are rescued and less than . 1% of traffickers are prosecuted.

Experts now believe 40. 3 million men, women and children are being trafficked and U.

S. Homeland Security estimates that for every 1000 people in the world, there are 5.

4 victims of modern-day slavery. The short narratives from the human trafficking Overcomers that Rebecca has collected tell the story more unforgettably than any facts can portray, and certainly more accurately than Hollywood movies, where most get their concept of this crime.

These stories are not highly graphic yet reveal the heartbreaking ways victims of trafficking are lured and abused, which is enough to raise the much-needed awareness. Each chapter teaches important topics which are reinforced by the Survivor stories, turning When Silence Ends into a profound educational tool in the fight against this horror.

Adding to the strength and effectiveness of this book are the contributions of many talented artists. With a full-page illustration at the start of each story, the experiences being shared come alive visually and make When Silence Ends a true work of art!The primary author, Rebecca Cary, founded Hands of Justice (HOJ) to be a Survivor-led Anti-Trafficking Nonprofit.

HOJ strives to empower Overcomers through awareness/prevention, outreach, survivor-led support groups, Trauma Therapy, Case Management/Advocacy, and educational scholarships. The primary purpose of When Silence Ends is to give voice to the Survivors and educate society on the prevention of trafficking through their experiences.

Additionally, funds from the book will go towards the new Center for Economic Resources for Overcomers which will allow Overcomers to have a safe and welcoming place where they can take classes, get tutoring, join a support group, go to therapy, get resources, volunteer, and so much more. It will be an inviting place that allows Overcomers to come and do life together, on their terms when they are ready.
