A woman of faith is working to see one of the most heinous sites in the world shut down.
Laila Mickelwait is the founder of Traffickinghub, which seeks to gain justice against the evils of the major pornography websites, such as PornHub.
One their site, Traffickinghub states that their purpose is for “shutting down Pornhub and holding its executives accountable for enabling, distributing and profiting from rape, child abuse, sex trafficking and criminal image based sexual abuse.”

Mickelwait’s faith is one of the key factors behind her desire to see survivors of sex trafficking and abuse receive justice.
“I do have a strong faith and belief in God,” Mickelwait told the Christian Post. “My spiritual side has played an important role in keeping me grounded and helping me to just keep going forward.”
As a mother, Mickelwait can’t imagine the horror of what it would be like to find out that your child has been trafficked or assaulted, with horrific videos and images of them posted online. While Mickelwait has cared about children for years, having her own has given her a fresh perspective as she helps those stuck in the porn industry.
“…it really took it to another level when I thought about the fact that these children who have been exploited could be my children in a few years because the things that were happening to them could happen to anyone’s child in the digital age,” Mickelwait told the Christian Post.

In a world that has become desensitized and glued to pornography, we cannot forget that there are real people, including minors, who have been affected by the plague of this addictive and dark form of technology. It is Jesus’ heart and desire that the captives may be set free. Pornography hurts everyone involved; those who watch it, those who produce it, those who are trafficked for it and society at-large. This is a plague we must combat in the Spirit and pray that a generation be set free from pornography.
