Oh. Hi There.

I was a senior in high school when I found out.

Shifting uncomfortably on the lumpy couch in my youth group room, I watched my friend Hunter stand up to talk about a new project he was starting at his school. I can even remember the ridiculous paint-splattered jorts he was wearing and how small the yellow cup was in his hand. He began by stating that there were 27 million humans in the world caught in modern day slavery. I stopped thinking about the ice cream waiting for me at home.

And I immediately doubted him. I remember planning what I was going to say to him after he stepped down from the stage - to tell him that slavery was abolished many years ago. I just had Aced a history test about the Civil Rights, for heaven’s sake.

After he mentioned the International Justice Mission, I pulled out my phone to start researching.

I spent the rest of my night, with only two measely hours of sleep, discovering that modern day slavery

ha y

was, in fact, still a problem today. Even in my hometown I couldn’t believe it.

Ever since then, I think about those 27 million every day. I pray for their lives every day. The mothers. The children. The fathers. The love that is lost.

Then I began asking my friends if they had heard of this injustice. I received an overwhelming no. I couldn’t believe human trafficking was happening in our own backyards and it was not well known. I know I needed to do something, but how could I start? I was young. I was stuck in a middle class suburban neighborhood. Plus, I was high-school-student-poor.

That’s why I created Unfairly{ly} Magazine. First, underused, yet powerful word to describe the actions against the trafficked. Second, it is my hope that through Unfair{ly} women can see that leading a fair trade lifestyle is possible. I hope it is a center for encouragement, inspiration, love and wit. We may not live in the same place or be in the same walk of life, but our passions, or gives us drive, can tie us together.

Q& A ...with jill bushery, relations representative at international justice mission Q: What is IJM’s Mission?

A: Our mission is to protect the poor from violence.And how we do that is working in 18 different communities within the developing world. And the violence we refer to is human trafficking, forced bondage slavery, police abuse of power and illegal property-taking. We have different teams to attack these areas.

Q: Can you describe the different departments within IJM and how each is necessary to end slavery?

Q. Is there any big project IJM is currently working on?

A: There are, but I’m not really allowed to talk about what’s going on in the field.

One thing I can share about is a new office in the Dominican Republic and we just took on our first case study, which was child sexual exploitation. On top of that, we’re opening new offices in Ghana.

Q. What’s next for IJM?

A: Right now we’re kind of ramping up that office (in the Dominican Republic).

So right now we’re wrapping up that A: We have many! We have our global marketing and mobilization divisiom. And office, trying to bring on staff there to then we have our government awareness work. Then hopefully preparing enough so by early 2015, we can start taking team and they work speicifically in the United States meeting with congress men casework and start rescuing the boys. and women. We also have our business for more of jill's interview, download operations teams. We have our executive our ipad app! deparment, which is our founders and presidents. Finally, justice operations.

These are the teams that work in the field.

tepping off the plane, Ben Easely, 24, was hit with a wave of humid air. The smell of spices mixed with the damp air attacked Aaron Lewis, 24, as they both got into a taxi car and prayed they did not hit a cow.

Driving further into the city, they were faced with the destruction, poverty and brokenness of their new mission field. But their drive to Kamathipura, Mumbai, proved to be beautiful with gold, dome-shaped buildings in the background.

how they got there.

Approaching the end of their senior year of college at Ball State University, both Easely and Lewis were challenged by Cary Miller, their bible study leader, to prayerfully consider giving a year of their lives to overseas missions.

{17}

fruitful{ly}

Easely, who graduated in 2013 with a bachelor’s degree in public relations, had previously considered overseas missions after college.

Lewis, however, planned to teach.

“When Cary challenged me, I was sure I was going to be a music teacher,” Lewis says. “I chose to go because I really felt God calling me to give a year of my life to mission work and to help those that need help.”

Steve Chalke started the Oasis Organization in 1985. As a pastor at the Baptist Church of Tonbridge in the U.K., Chalke went around London doing missions.

The two said they prayerfully considered traveling outside of their comfort zones; open to anywhere God would need them the most.

After traveling up and down the UK for two years, he decided it was time to train six individuals to take the program to the world.

“When we were processing and praying about where [to go], South Asia kept coming up,” says Easely. “It just became really apparent that’s where God wanted us.”

Oasis India shares a common mission, outcome and vision as Oasis, but is a branch residing in Mumbai, India. Their work is centered on holistic solutions to abuse, human trafficking, rescue through education and rehabilitation.

A year before, a mutual friend traveled to Mumbai, India to work with the Oasis India Organization. Easely believes God laid the resources in front of them, so they could talk through what they life may look like in India.

In 2012, they committed to spend the next year of their lives with Oasis.

the setting.

Easely and Lewis obeyed God’s call, and boarded an international flight to Mumbai in September 2014. The two were headed to Kamathipura, the third largest red light area in all of Asia, according to the International Justice Mission.

“It’s a town about 14 blocks long and three blocks wide, and there are roughly 500,000 sex workers in that whole area,” Lewis says.

Mid-Day Infomedia estimates that in a town of nearly 56,000 people, a majority of the Kamathipura population are johns and madams, while roughly 5,000 are sex slaves Since 2009, the number of slave workers has reduced by at least 1,200 each year. Those who leave the sex trade tend to convert to Christianity, according to Mid-Day Infomedia.

Lewis was able to use his passion for teaching at the Oasis day care. Children of survivors and children of trafficked women can come before and after school, or when their mother works at night.

The day care provides food for the kids, helps with homework and makes sure the children are enrolled in school.

With his background in public relations, Easely worked in the Oasis main coordinating office for the sites in India.

He created advertisements, wrote letters of recommendations for survivors, networked with

non-governmental organizations and helped with internal communications.

Easely and Lewis’ say they saw six people make that transformation, while about 20 re-affirmed their relationship with the Lord.

Though Evangelism is not Oasis’ main effort, it is a way for them to educate and share the gospel with the hawkers*, johns*, madams*, pimps* or sex workers.

Easely says it is not a requirement for the women or the children to be out of trafficking or Christians to receive help from Oasis.

“They instill the principle of, ‘Do you know why I’m doing this? Because I feel like I have been blessed, so I want to bless you. This is why I am doing this,’” Easely says.

He says that there is apprehension to accept the missionaries’ help, because of past interactions with foreign Christian missionaries.

“They have a history of, ‘you must convert or we will not give you medical care,’” Easely says.

“This is not what that is at all. It’s just good,

in the brothel.

Lewis experienced firsthand how Oasis equips trafficked women. His day care team and he would occasionally take blankets to women and children in a brothel.

“The first one I went to was five stories high and there might have been four light bulbs in the whole place. It was a small area with so many workers,” Lewis says. “Everyone is just packed together like a box of matches.”

Lewis remembers the place being dark, wet and sticky. He said everyone was staring at him for two reasons: it was daytime and he was white.

Both are uncommon in Kamathipura.

Lewis and his team knocked on “the excuse for a door,” which Lewis described as a cracked piece of wood with holes that made up majority of the lumber. He remembers a man peeking his head from one of the holes.

Inside, a woman was cooking lunch on an open burner on the floor while men, women and children waited on a single bed.

“The whole room was no bigger than a bathroom. When the guy opened the door all the way, the mother came to give the staff woman a hug, because she had a relationship with her,” Lewis says. “She was crying because she knew that whenever [Oasis] showed up, they were there to either talk about happy things or they brought them gifts.”

It happened to be a gift day. The mother who hugged the staff woman was holding a child wrapped in a ratty cloth. In one swift move, the woman exchanged a ratty, used blanket with a new blanket Lewis brought.

3 p.m. that day, As he was leaving, Lewis saw the women begin to get up, shower and get ready for another night of work.

“The whole family - that’s their room. They live and work in that room. A lot of the infants will be there when mothers bring [their] customers in. They don’t really have another place to go,” Lewis says.

Being raised while watching their mothers work as a prostitute Lewis says contributes to the normalcy of prostitution.

accepting the hard truth.

Despite their recovery efforts, Easely says there is no guarantee that an individual won’t return to the red light district after being rescued and set up with a new job.

“There is probably a little bit of pressure on them by pimps or madams to stay there and keep making money,” Easely says. “I think a large part of it, too, was just this social construct that they put together that ‘this is my life and I cannot leave’ or for social reason, ‘because no one will accept me.’”

"it was a self sacrificing love."

He believes the most dangerous aspect of trafficking is not the pimps, the madams or the johns, but the mindset that the individuals don’t feel skilled in anything else.

“They stay under the thumb of the pimps and madams,” says Easley. “Someone takes care of you and you’re making money, fairly good money. It’s oppressive but it’s kind of stable.”

Lewis says reincarnation and debt play a large role in trapping people into trafficking.

Hindu is the main religion in Kamathipura.

It makes up about 81 percent of the Indian population, according to the Indian Embassies.

The religion believes in suffering through this life for a better life after death.

Easely returned to the states in July 2014, and Lewis a month later. They say while the trip impacted their lives, one of the most alarming aspects was how natural trafficking had become to them.

Both men met a 14-year-old boy who had been working with Oasis for months before they arrived in India. He had been a hawker for the johns and madams.

Before Lewis and Easely arrived, Oasis explained to the young man why his job was an act of injustice and helped him receive another job at the Oasis distribution center.

“I think when I first got there it was much harder and then kind of normalized. It’s weird to think about normalizing such an inhuman experience, but you transcribe that case report that someone has written about this lady and you’re like, ‘Oh my gosh! I can’t believe this lady has put up with all of this.’ And you realize that it’s the lady that has been sitting next to you this entire time,” Easely says.

A week later, the young man quit and returned hawking. He complained of working triple the hours he did as a hawker, yet not making the same amount of money he was on the corner.

Trafficking wasn’t a big issue for Lewis when he first went to India. When his first year ended, Lewis decided to return to India for another year to continue to fight human trafficking.

Trafficking wasn’t a big issue for Lewis when he first went to India. After his first year of missions, he decided to return to India for another year with Oasis to continue fighting the problem.

Easely says the police in Mumbai and Kamathipura, as well as the residents, are very aware of the amount of trafficking in the city. Yet nothing is changing.

“Everyone knows the Kamathipura area of the city and what it is known. The Mumbaikers just know how the police work and that their enforcement is really kind of arbitrary, and so people and prostitutes alike avoid them,” Easely says. “A lot of the police action seems to be politically-charged or agenda-driven.”

Lewis says Oasis will continue to send missionaries like Easely and Lewis while there is still a need for Christ.

“It was a self-sacrificing love,” Easely says. “The struggle is not over.”

he calls this mission trip a “good culture shock.”

She felt safe. She found a new passion and she was finally on the path toward her dream career.

Valerie Kiensley was scrolling through Instagram in November 2013 from the couch of her Noblesville, Indiana, home when she stopped at a picture posted by a California-based photographer, whom she did not personally know. The caption called for photographers to use their passion to serve orphans in Uganda with the Archibald Project, an organization founded by Nick and Whitney Runyon.

Before going to Uganda, Kiensley owned her own freelancing design and photography business, Vallarina Creative. She also was the president of the Noblesville Rotary Club.

She had not heard of the Archibald Project before, but was immediately interested in going on a mission trip. Especially one that would use her “photography to save the world.”

{28}

In August 2011, the Runyon’s traveled to Bulgaria to document the adoption process of a young boy with Down syndrome. The images they shared of the boy’s story inspired another family to adopt from Ukraine. Moved by the process and education taught through the story, in January 2012, the Runyon’s created The Archibald Project.

Now at 2-years-old, it is a non-profit orphan care media organization named after Archie Eicher, the Bulgarian orphan.

It is the purpose of the Archibald Project to tell stories that promote orphan care, foster care and reintegration. Through their stories, the Runyon’s hope less children can call themselves orphans.

Since 2012, they have sent missionaries on media missions to capture the orphan systems through design, photographs, long form stories and video.

“I was like, ‘that sounds interesting. I don’t have anything going on in March. Maybe I’ll apply,’”

fruitful{ly} Kiensley says. “So I applied. [I] did not think I was going to get it. I was not that passionate about adoption at the time and there were tons of very well known and very talented photographers [who] had commented on her post. I thought they were never going to pick me. But for whatever reason, they did.”

Kiensley was scheduled to leave in March. For the next four months, she immersed herself in “all things orphan care and adoption.”

In Uganda, Kiensley and a team of eight photographers, videographers and writers documented the orphans at the Arise and Shine Uganda Orphanage. Besides capturing the environment at the orphanage, Kiensley says the Archibald Project and the city convicted her heart for orphan care.

“I have always wanted to be a mom, always wanted to have a big family,” Kiensley says. “But a friend of mine was saying that she would really love to adopt, and I just remember [thinking that] I could never adopt. I could

never love someone else’s child. To come full circle now and to be involved in the Archibald project is cool.”

Kiensley and her husband now have discussed adopting, and hope to start the process soon. She recognizes, however, that it’s getting more and more difficult to adopt internationally.

“Something that really hit me while learning so much about adoption and orphan care is that there are 147 million orphans in the world and it is very, very difficult to adopt and to foster and to bring those orphans into families. There are thousands of families that want to adopt and to foster, but governments and processes just make it really hard,” Kiensley says.

It is now a requirement for countries to sign the HAAG treaty, which is an international treaty declaring standardization of the adoption process. When that is signed, the country, and the country the adopting child is promises that the child is not being trafficked and they

{29}

haven’t been bought or abducted from a family. But it has caused some countries to close international adoptions completely.

“The result is millions of orphans and millions of families who want to adopt them and there’s just a disconnect and it hurts my heart,” Kiensley says.

“I really thought right now I would be shooting 30 weddings a year and be a full-time photographer and it’s just not at all even close to what I’m doing. It’s really weird,” In an effort to share their stories, Kiensley decided to travel to all of the rotary clubs in Hamilton Country and give a presentation about the mission trip.

After every presentation, she would let the Runyon’s know how it went.

{30}

“I was talking to Whitney one day and she just casually mentioned, ‘yeah Nick and I are really praying about taking the Archibald project full-time.’

As of then, they both had full-time jobs. Nick’s a pilot, Whitney’s a photographer, so this has been totally done in their spare time,” Kiensley says.

Whitney went on to say that if they take on the Archibald Project full-time, they would hire someone as creative director, and they automatically thought of Kiensley. Two weeks later, they called her offering the position. And she accepted.

Kiensley has not started working because she is fundraising to join staff. After she raies abotut $40,000 in support, she plans to go on full-time staff with the Archibald Project so she can “continue to take photos that will save the world.”
