Human Trafficking Under the Spotlight: Scientology’s International Campaign

Published

on

In its efforts to uphold rights worldwide the Church of Scientology plays a significant role in the fight, against human trafficking by raising awareness through campaigns and educational programs and collaborating internationally. Scientologists are actively involved in preventing exploitation and aiding survivors by advocating for the values outlined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) as well as partnering with organizations that address trafficking from its core. The commitment to this cause was showcased during a town hall event at the Church of Scientology in Seattle where both local and global professionals discussed the importance of education and laws in combating human trafficking while supporting those at risk.

A Multi-Faceted Approach to Combat Trafficking

The recent community event held by the Church of Scientology in Seattle brought attention to the concerning problem of trafficking with a specific emphasis on child sex trafficking, in Washington state. The gathering coincided with UN International Human Rights Day and centred around the theme “Our Rights, Our Future, Right Now.” Notable speakers shared insights. Rallied for immediate action to combat this widespread issue.

Butch Yarnell captivated the audience with a speech during his keynote address as the Eastern Washington & Idaho Regional Coordinator, for Shared Hope International. He shed light on the mission of Shared Hope International to combat sex trafficking through prevention efforts and interventions and highlighted the truth of trafficking in Washington. Yarnell stressed the importance of taking steps and garnering legislative support to disrupt trafficking operations and provide aid to those who have survived such ordeals.

In 2024 in Washington state there have been new laws passed with Senate Bill 6006 making a strong impact on empowering survivors by providing civil protection orders and victim compensation without time limits while also getting rid of the statute of limitations for prosecuting sex trafficking cases. The mention of Seattle as a point in a trafficking network that reaches as wide as Honolulu and Canada highlights the ongoing need for vigilance and support, for this issue as noted by Yarnell.

 

Youth Education as a Preventative Tool

Dave Scattergood from Youth for Human Rights presented materials designed to educate young individuals about their essential human rights inspired by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). These resources consist of brochures, videos and a complimentary online program accessible on the website of this international organization. 

Scattergood emphasized the importance of education in stopping exploitation by saying; “It is vital that our youth are educated on their basic human rights to help prevent them becoming victims of human trafficking crimes”.

 

European Perspectives

On 24 January 2024, EUROSTAT published the 2022 statistics for trafficking in human beings. The newly released data showed that 10,093 victims of trafficking in human beings were registered in the EU in 2022, representing a 41% increase compared to 2021.

Despite the rising number of registered victims, the number of convicted traffickers remains significantly lower. In 2022, there were 2,097 convicted traffickers in the EU, reflecting a 16.7% decrease compared to 2021. This disparity underscores the challenges in effectively prosecuting and convicting individuals involved in human trafficking.

In Europe’s sphere of influence Ivan Arjona, Scientology representative to the European Union and the UN, has spoken numerous times urging authorities and civil society for a unified strategy to tackle human trafficking throughout the continent. Through different conversations and meetings, Arjona has highlighted the importance of international partnerships and extensive educational initiatives. “Human trafficking represents an unforgivable infringement on fundamental human rights. In Europe it is imperative that we enhance collaboration across borders, safeguard victims of trafficking, prosecute offenders and hold perpetrators accountable with the full force of the law” he emphasizes. 

Arjona suggests boosting funding for community outreach efforts in areas at risk and advises governments to take a tough stance on those involved in trafficking activities, while calling for empowering civil society organizations to engage youth in educational programs to fight against human trafficking.

 

A Global Crisis with Local Impact

The International Labor Organization estimates that 27.6 million individuals are trapped in forced labor worldwide, generating $236 billion annually in illegal profits. In Washington state alone, the National Human Trafficking Hotline identified 202 cases last year, involving 367 victims. These stark figures highlight the urgency of addressing this crisis on both local and global scales.

Scientology founder L. Ronald Hubbard‘s aims for human rights to become a reality and not just an idealistic dream, has been a driving force for the Church of Scientology’s dedication to promoting education and activism around human rights issues. Every church worldwide plays a role in engaging with the community and providing support for initiatives like United for Human Rights and Youth for Human Rights, establishing chapters wherever possible. The original series Voices for Humanity on the Scientology Network documents the remarkable results achieved by the program.

The Seattle forum, like many initiatives by the Church of Scientology worldwide, reinforces the importance of collective action in eradicating human trafficking. From legislative advocacy to education and community engagement, the path forward requires collaboration among governments, NGOs, and civil society. As Ivan Arjona well summarizes, “Only through awareness, action, and accountability can we hope to turn the tide against this modern-day slavery.

TR.ENERGY: Buy TRON Energy and Fee Savings on USDT Transfers in the TRX Network

Published

on

Sharjah, UAE, 5th July 2025, ZEX PR WIRETR.ENERGY is a high-tech decentralized platform for efficient delegation and rental TRON Energy, helping users significantly reduce transaction costs when transferring USDT TRC-20 on the network.

The platform enables users to buy TRON energy instantly, providing a cost-effective alternative to the traditional fee model on the TRON blockchain. This solution is especially relevant for active traders, crypto businesses, exchanges looking to optimize expenses.

Why Energy Matters in the TRON Network

The TRON network is one of the fastest-growing and most advanced ecosystems in Web3. However, when interacting with smart contracts — such as transferring USDT TRC-20 or deploying a decentralized application (dApp) — users consume energy. If there’s not enough energy in the wallet, the network burns TRX, increasing the transaction cost. For high-frequency users, this can result in hundreds of dollars in additional monthly costs.

For example, a typical USDT transaction can cost up to 27 TRX (~$7.40). In contrast, the same transaction via TR.ENERGY costs just 10 TRX, enabling users to cut fees by more than 63%.

Users without sufficient energy may also encounter the “OUT_OF_ENERGY” error, which prevents transactions from being processed.
TR.ENERGY solves this problem by offering an easy and instant way to buy TRX energy – with no need to freeze tokens or perform complex configurations.

How TR.ENERGY Works

TR.ENERGY provides immediate access to TRON energy without freezing your own TRX. Through its intuitive interface, users can:

  • Save up to 63% on fees for USDT TRC-20 transactions;
  • Buy tron energy for durations ranging from 15 minutes to 24 hours;
  • Stay secure and anonymous — the service never accesses user funds;
  • Use the built-in AML checker to validate wallet safety.

TR.ENERGY Wallet

TR.ENERGY has also launched a non-custodial cryptowallet. 

TR.ENERGY Wallet — offering not only safe storage for crypto assets but full access to all TR.ENERGY features, including:

  • Buy TRX energy with a few clicks;
  • Pay USDT fees with USDT when transferring USDT TRC-20
  • Access to an AML checker for TRX, BTC, and ETH;
  • Instant token swaps between TRX and USDT (more networks coming soon).

In addition, the platform provides global investors with a staking model offering 16–20% annual returns, positioning TR.ENERGY as one of the most risk-free and high-yield investment options for the TRX token in the crypto market.

Referral Program

TR.ENERGY features a multi-level referral system, where partners can earn 10% of the staking rewards generated by referred users.
As your referral level grows, you unlock even greater rewards and platform benefits.

Who Uses TR.ENERGY?

TR.ENERGY already serves over 10,000 active users, including:

  • Crypto businesses processing thousands of transactions daily;
  • Retail traders who frequently need TRX energy rental to reduce operational costs;
  • Exchanges and services looking to improve user experience and reduce fees.

More Than Just TRON Energy Rental

TR.ENERGY is more than a utility tool – it’s a next-generation DeFi infrastructure built to optimize network fees and scale blockchain operations. The project is currently part of the TRON Builders League (TBL) incubation program and continues to expand its offerings and integrations.

Key Advantages of TR.ENERGY:

Several key advantages of the service:

  • Ability to buy TRX energy without the need to freeze assets;
  • B2B client support with flexible terms and AML reporting;
  • Fully automated processes;

Popular breakfast dishes like **Idli, **Vada, and **Upma* are staples in most local households and eateries. *Bisi Bele Bath, a hearty dish made of rice, lentils, and vegetables with a unique spice blend, reflects Bengaluru’s love for wholesome, flavorful meals. Sweet lovers enjoy **Mysore Pak* and *Kesari Bath*, both rich in ghee and tradition. Bengaluru’s vegetarian cuisine is a blend of taste, tradition, and regional influence.

Benefits of Non-Refrigerated Freshly Cooked Food: Non-refrigerated freshly cooked food offers a range of benefits, especially when consumed shortly after preparation. One of the primary advantages is its freshness and nutritional value. Freshly cooked meals retain more natural nutrients, flavors, and textures compared to reheated or processed foods. They are free from preservatives and additives commonly used in packaged or stored meals, promoting a healthier diet.

Another benefit is improved digestion. Warm, freshly prepared foods are generally easier to digest than cold or stored foods. In many cultures, traditional meals are served fresh and warm, supporting the body’s natural digestive processes. This practice aligns with health philosophies such as Ayurveda, which emphasizes the importance of fresh, warm food for maintaining bodily balance.

Hygiene is another important aspect. When food is cooked and consumed immediately, there is less risk of bacterial growth that can occur during storage. This ensures food safety, especially in warm climates where refrigeration is limited.

— Better Digestion: Easier to digest, supporting natural digestive processes.

— Energy Efficiency: Reduces need for refrigeration, saving energy.

— Food Safety: Less risk of bacterial growth, ensuring food safety.
