Spiritual Trafficking

By Demonic Traffickers (Spiritual Parasites)

Spiritual Parasites are those demons whose only purpose is to suck dry the livelihood of of the human spirits by injecting in them with all kinds of addictions and distractions. When a person's spirit is "over crowed" or being "taken over" by "hungry" spiritual parasites with constant urges for feeding, there would be less room for that person to attend to the Spirit of God. The spiritual parasites' goals are to control and traffic the human spirits away from God... ultimately, to inflict spiritual pain and sufferings, then steal the human souls from God.

Sign Saying HUMAN TRAFFICKING HAPPENS HERE

It Happens Everywhere

Human Trafficking most often occurs in plain sight, contrary to the common conception.  It is a form of modern-day slavery, in which human beings are controlled and exploited for profit. Perpetrators use force, fraud, or coercion to manipulate and establish control over individuals. 40 million people annually are impacted by trafficking globally.

Most Common Human Trafficking

The two most commonly known forms of human trafficking are sexual exploitation and forced labor. Any instance in which an individual engages in a commercial sex act (i.e. prostitution) as the result of force, fraud, or coercion, is considered sex trafficking. Forced labor can occur within any form of labor or services. All of the individuals work against their will, for little or no pay, and/or under the threat of punishment.

Sex Trafficking Statistics

The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) defines human trafficking as “the acquisition of people by improper means such as force, fraud or deception, with the aim of exploiting them.” Sometimes victims are taken from their home countries, other times they are kidnapped abroad. Nevertheless, thousands of victims in almost every country in the world are impacted by this human rights violation.

 

Every year, thousands of women and children fall into the hands of traffickers in their own countries and abroad. Every country in the world is implicated by this injustice, whether as a country of origin, transit, or destination.
