21 Days

21 days.

The number of days we are fasting as an organization for GenerateHope. We will be fasting from June 13 - July 3.

During this time we will be doing a liquid fast (coffee, juices, smoothies) and will be considering what it's like to lose a basic human right. That right for us will be in the form of food. Something so basic that we don't consider it a right, but a given.

The women we work with lost their basic right to choose their sexual partner. Lost the right to say "No" to sleeping with men they have never met. Lost their freedom to be young and worry about clothes and schoolwork; instead they have had to worry about who their next "client" would be. And how many men would visit their bed during the day.

As we fast together we think about the millions of women, children and boys who have had to suffer through modern-day slavery. We consider the change we want to see in this world and the opportunities we have to make a difference.

We give up food so that they know we see them, that we hear them, and that we are here to help.
