Four years ago, LION195 began as a vision. Today, that vision has become a mission in action.

Our founder, Katrina Terry, reflects on the journey of building LION195 and the purpose that continues to drive the work:

Protecting children. Empowering survivors. Inspiring change.

What started with a vision has grown into a movement fueled by compassion, courage, and a commitment to creating a safer future for children.

We’re just getting started. 💜

🚨 Human exploitation in the United States: What the Data Really Reveals

This modern slavery is one of the most hidden crimes in America, even our best data likely represents only a fraction of what's happening.

📊 According to the U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics:
• Approximately 2,950 incidents involving an estimated 3,570 victims were reported by law enforcement in 2022.
⚖️ Federal enforcement is increasing:
In Fiscal Year 2023:
• 2,329 trafficking suspects were referred to U.S. Attorneys.
• 1,782 suspects were prosecuted.
• 1,008 defendants were convicted.
Compared to 2013, that represents:
📈 23% increase in referrals
📈 73% increase in prosecutions
📈 64% increase in convictions
🏛️ State prison data (2023):
• 916 prison admissions for Commercial s*xual exploitation offenses
• 2,220 people incarcerated at year's end

⚠️ But here's the most important fact:
The Bureau of Justice Statistics states that current U.S. data systems cannot produce reliable estimates of the true prevalence of human trafficking.

Why?

• Many victims never come into contact with law enforcement.
• Victims often do not self-identify due to fear, trauma, or coercion.
• These cases may be investigated under other crimes such as child exploitation, prostitution, kidnapping, or labor violations.
• Reporting standards and trafficking definitions vary across jurisdictions.
The numbers we see are not the total number of victims, they are only the victims who have been identified.
💜 Better data leads to:
✔️ Better victim identification
✔️ Smarter allocation of investigative resources
✔️ Stronger collaboration between agencies
✔️ More effective anti-trafficking strategies
this thrives in silence and remains largely hidden. Awareness, education, and informed communities are critical in helping identify victims and prevent exploitation.

LION195 has shared a video about this statue once before, and we'd like to touch on it again.

This statue, Let the Oppressed Go Free, serves as a visual prayer.

Inspired by Isaiah 58:6 (KJV):

"Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?"

God desires action that actively confronts injustice, oppression, and exploitation.

The sculptor spoke on this violation of human rights, calling it a "deep, disturbing element of humanity." Mr. Schmalz believed this artwork would start conversations about human trafficking. He went on to explain that what prevents people from talking about this issue is their reluctance to speak about something so evil, and we couldn't agree more. 💜💛

TRUE OR FALSE❓

Most Child Victims of Trafficking Are Taken by Strangers?

❌You would be shocked to know that human trafficking of children in the U.S. is usually not the result of a stranger kidnapping. Research and hotline data show that victims often know, trust, or have a relationship with their trafficker, such as a family member, romantic partner, friend, or someone who gradually gains their trust through grooming. ⚠️ Focusing only on "stranger danger" can cause people to miss the more common warning signs of trafficking and exploitation. ⚠️
