Lynsey Bartilson

Lynsey Bartilson: Right now I'm working to spearhead a conference with officials and industry people because I think Hollywood needs to take an important role in handling this situation. As an entertainer, that's one way I can help. It's important that awareness be raised in the United States. We want to blow it open so that the media will focus on this issue more than they have.

Lynsey Bartilson:(On what sparked her interest in human trafficking) I'm the youth advisor on the board of directors of the Institute on Religion and Public Policy and when I was asked to join that board I was very curious: "Where on the planet are the largest violations of human rights against women and children?" Sexual trafficking was brought up - a huge, huge issue that is virtually buried. Media doesn't cover it much. It's the modern-day slave trade. I was shocked that more about it wasn't being exposed so I made it my mission to help do so.

Lynsey Bartilson: (On Scientology) When I did my first service at the Church it was then called the Children's Communication Course. I was not sure what it would be like. After the first day I came home happier than I'd ever been. It wasn't like a book telling me what I should do. It was people helping me find a way to improve MY life, the way I wanted it to go. I will never forget that day! Wow, it blew me away!
