God has been working mightily over these last few months with Project Exodus making more leads in cases, establishing new chapters throughout California, and empowering thousands to join the fight against injustice. However one thing stands out amongst the rest. Today Project Exodus is extremely proud and blessed to announce the launch of Project Exodus: MALAYSIA! Based in Kuala Lumpur, Project Exodus: MALAYSIA is the very first international expansion of Project Exodus!
According to the US State Department's Trafficking in Persons (TIP) Report:
"Malaysia is a destination, and to a lesser extent, a source and transit country for women and children subjected to trafficking in persons, specifically conditions of forced prostitution and for men, women, and children who are in conditions of forced labor. The majority of trafficking victims are foreign workers who migrate willingly to Malaysia from Indonesia, Nepal, India, Thailand, China, the Philippines, Burma, Cambodia, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Vietnam in search of greater economic opportunities, some of whom subsequently encounter forced labor or debt bondage at the hands of their employers, employment agents, or informal labor recruiters. While many of Malaysia's trafficking offenders are individual business people, large organized crime syndicates are also behind some of the trafficking of foreigners in Malaysia. "However, despite the amount of trafficking taking place in the country, little is being done to fight it. Over the next few months, Project Exodus: MALAYSIA will begin to build the connections and infrastructure to fight human trafficking in the country and inform the Malaysian population what they can do to stop slavery.
In order to aid the fight, one of the first objectives of Project Exodus: MALAYSIA will be to establish the country's very first HUMAN TRAFFICKING HOTLINE. Our hopes with this hotline will be to give victims of trafficking in Malaysia an option in trying to escape their bondage. With God's blessing, we know it will be successful.
While we are still in the process of building up the branches infrastructure, they already have an active Facebook page, Twitter, and Blog. We encourage you to support our new branch by following them on the web and praying for them continuously. Furthermore, we encourage you to donate to our organization to help support and give life to the new branch. You can donate to Project Exodus by clicking here: DONATE.
We can't wait to see what the next few weeks and month holds in store for us. We are fully trusting in God in this new expansion and cannot wait to keep you updated! Thank you so much for all those who continue to support and pray for us. We look forward to sharing more justice soon!
Veritas et Aequitas,
The Project Exodus Team
