Purpose To combat the trafficking of children | ||
Stop Child Trafficking Now (also called SCTNow) is an international organization founded by Lynette Lewis, an author and public speaker. This nonprofit organization engages in advocacy work in an attempt to bring an end to the trafficking of children. SCTNow targets the demand for human trafficking, focusing on pedophiles, child abductions and child pornography. The group seeks to have those who sexually abuse children prosecuted and convicted. The organization organizes a walk each year to raise awareness on the issue. The first walk took place in September 2011 in Augusta, Georgia, United States. SCTNow events have been held in more than 35 cities in the United States. The group organized a protest at Phillips Square, Montreal, Quebec, Canada in September 2009. Sherrie Clark volunteers for the organization as an editor and writer.
