Mom with Impact: Fighting Human Trafficking LINEY CHACKO We made it our mission to find the underage victims. We help girls from the age of 5 up to 15." " A A dove soars through the sky with a twig in its beak. A voice can be heard saying, “The dove you see is my Holy Spirit, you’re the twig. I will be the one to carry you to nations, to glorify my name.” This was a vision given to Liney Chacko in 1982 to bring the gospel to a hurting world. With tears streaming down her face, Liney humbly said "yes" to what would become Global Renewal. Global Renewal is a missions driven organization that provides training programs, fights human trafficking and offers community relief and development. Along with her husband David Chacko, Liney fights human trafficking among young girls through the Chain Reaction campaign. Chain Reaction asks the question, "Will you react?" According to the National Human Trafficking Resource Center, almost 30,000 cases of human trafficking have been reported in the United States since 2007. With safe houses in Cambodia and Indonesia, Liney knows firsthand the international impact of human trafficking. Cambodia is ranked 14th in the world for modern day slavery. CEOMOM interviewed Liney to learn how she is working to end modern day slavery. CEOMOM | 8
