Hope Auction

Point Loma Nazarene University presents a fine art auction with all proceeds benefiting GenerateHope.

Human trafficking, or modern-day slavery, is the fastest growing criminal industry in the world. Trafficking involves exploiting people for sex or labor through the threat or use of force, fraud, or coercion.  Approximately 27 million people around the world, including men, women, and children, are currently enslaved. The fall 2009 Viewpoint covered the topic of human trafficking.

GenerateHope.org is opening its doors this year to provide dedicated housing and a comprehensive recovery program for women and girls, ages 18 to 30, who have been sexually exploited and/or trafficked. Since recovery from sexual exploitation is a long-term process, GenerateHope allows for up to seven years of support to work through past trauma. This provides women and their children the ability to live independently and become a positive influence on their communities and future generations. This is the first program of its kind in San Diego.
