Rahab's Rope exists to empower women and children in the fight against human trafficking in South Asia.
Where It All Began
In 2004, Vicki Moore came across a report on the prevalence of human trafficking worldwide. With statistics reporting upwards of 40 million people in slavery, human trafficking is the fastest growing criminal activity in the world generating 150 billion dollars per year. Two-thirds of human trafficking is from commercial sexual exploitation and 80% is girls and women. South Asia trafficks more children than any part of the world. Having never heard of human trafficking and its prevalence, Vicki was shocked and felt compelled to learn more. She listened to an interview with a young woman who had been rescued from the industry. She was never allowed to go to school and could not read or write, leaving her unemployable and unequipped. She begged listeners to teach her a skill that would allow her to provide for herself, not a handout but the restoration of dignity through work and purpose that every human longs for. Vicki immediately realized she could teach this woman and others like her. With more atrocity continuing to be made known to her, Vicki asked God, “Why isn’t someone doing something about this?” to which He replied, “I would like for you to do something.”Following the Lord, Vicki was led to South Asia. By the years' end, Rahab’s Rope was introduced at our very first Christmas celebration to a group of women who had been used and abused for most of their lives and saw no sign of hope. With 100 women in attendance, what better event to introduce a sign of hope than in celebrating the birth of Him who provided rescue for all. This was the beginning of Rahab's Rope. With 20 years of ministry experience, we now work in 6 locations, run 11 programs, and continue reaching thousands of women. “Let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.” 1 John 3:18
