“Trafficking in persons is now the second most profitable business for organized crime.”…it is now the third largest source of profits for international organized crime, behind only drugs and guns.” UNHCR (2010)"There are more human slaves in the world today than ever before in history""There are an estimated 27 million adults and 13 million children around the world who are victims of human trafficking."
Over the last two weeks, I have heard stories that made me feel as if my heart was being ripped to shreds and set on fire; stories of children assaulted by those who were charged with their well being, of mothers abandoning and hating their children, of parents selling their children into prostitution, and of children so lonely and depressed that it was only a matter of time before they fell into the preying arms of pimps and/or lover boys. I have met some of those people and heard their stories first hand, and I tell you I will never forget them. Human trafficking is real. Do your part in fighting it today! If you see something that looks suspicious, like a young girl working for a man or woman who never let her out of their sight, and when they do she is always watched; or a boy who cries everyday because he misses his parents and was forced to come and "work" in the city at such a young age but his boss is "hurting" him and making him "do" unpleasant things, please raise alarm. The world needs you, your cry for help just may save a life! Below is the trailer for one of the best and accurately made documentaries on human trafficking that won over 24 awards internationally...
