TAMPA, Fla., Jan. 26, 2022 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — January is Human Trafficking Prevention Month and the Scientology Network<\/a> invites viewers to watch an episode of \u201cVoices for Humanity\u201d featuring a Tampa Bay Area entrepreneur who\u00a0is dedicated to saving kids from modern-day slavery.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0U.S. Department of Justice<\/a>\u00a0estimates that 200,000 American children are at risk of being trafficked into the sex industry each year,<\/p>\n

Christopher King, fashion designer, U.S Marine veteran and grandson of blues legend BB King, founded the nonprofit The Gentlemen\u2019s Course to save kids from human trafficking and any form of human rights abuse and to provide them with the moral compass and social skills they need to thrive.<\/p>\n

Florida is the third-busiest hub for child sex trafficking in the United States.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re talking about kids being sold, traded, forced against their own will,\u201d says King in his episode of\u00a0\u201cVoices for Humanity<\/a>.\u201d\u00a0\u201cNo one should be a slave, and no one has the right to enslave anyone.\u201d<\/p>\n

King learned of Youth for Human Rights International<\/a> on a visit to the United for Human Rights headquarters in Clearwater, Florida<\/a>. \u201cThat gave me a guide on how to educate youth. At that point, I founded The Gentlemen\u2019s Course.\u201d<\/p>\n

King and his team bring his programs right to the kids.<\/p>\n

\u201cHuman traffickers, they\u2019re in the schools. They\u2019re on social media. They\u2019re getting the kids on their platforms,\u201d says King. \u201cSo we might as well attack them on the same ground. If people knew their rights, they would know what to defend. That is the purpose. That\u2019s our goal.\u201d<\/p>\n

Youth for Human Rights International materials<\/a>\u00a0help people of all ages understand the 30 rights enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Creating a world where human rights are known and protected starts with effective educational programs that reach across all cultural and geographic boundaries.<\/p>\n

Inspired by Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard\u2019s words that \u201cHuman rights must be made a fact, not an idealistic dream,\u201d the Church of Scientology and Scientologists support\u00a0Youth for Human Rights<\/a>\u00a0and make its educational materials available free of charge. Watch a documentary on\u00a0the history and activities of Youth for Human Rights International<\/a>\u00a0on\u00a0\u201cVoices for Humanity<\/a>\u201d\u00a0on the\u00a0Scientology Network<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Since\u00a0launching with a special episode featuring Scientology ecclesiastical leader\u00a0Mr. David Miscavige<\/a>, Scientology Network has been viewed in 240 countries and territories worldwide in 17 languages. Broadcast from\u00a0Scientology Media Productions<\/a>, the Church\u2019s global media center in Los Angeles, the Scientology Network is available on DIRECTV Channel 320 and can be streamed on\u00a0Scientology.tv<\/a>,\u00a0mobile apps<\/a>\u00a0and via the Roku, Amazon Fire and Apple TV platforms.<\/p>\n
