Full Job Description: Love Justice South Africa / Transit Monitoring

Overview: We are on a mission to share the love of Christ by fighting the worlds greatest injustices. It is estimated that there are more than 40 million slaves in the world todaymore than any time in history. Most trafficking victims are subjected to the worst conditions and several of the most horrific crimes, including deception, kidnapping, rape, torture, and enslavement. Traffickers often target the young, uneducated, naive, and innocent. Selling a story of hope to those most desperate for it, they use deception to gain control and then maintain control through acts of violence. The scale of the problem, the gravity of the crimes involved, and the vulnerability of its victims combine to make human trafficking and the slavery it engenders perhaps the greatest injustice in the world today. Transit Monitoring attacks trafficking at the most strategic momentwhile it is in the process of occurring, but before victims have been exploited or enslaved. It seeks people who are being actively trafficked or at high risk of being trafficked and prevents it. It is tangible, measurable, and has a very high impact on the dollar. A Transit Monitor stands in public areas like train or bus stations and border crossings, and watches for signs of trafficking. When they see these signs, they will show an identity card and question the suspected victim and trafficker. If they conclude that the potential victim really is being trafficked, they will intercept her/him and prevent her from going on.
