Not For Sale






I was reading a Sunday school 
magazine and one of the articles
 was about human trafficking.I saw 
the movie "Taken" a while back and 
while the movie is mostly action 
focused I was shocked at the fact that 
slavery still exists and thrives in the world.
Yes I apparently and more naive than I
 thought. I was the child in fourth grade
who came home crying after in  Alabama
 History i found out that there was
such thing as slavery and that 
it had occurred in Alabama! It always 
bothered me how people could
 justify selling other people?!!
But it was comforting that people had 
come to their senses and (i thought) 
there was not longer such a thing.
Well in our country anyway...

Today my bubble was burst again the magazine said,"There are more 
slaves now than in the height of the Trans-Atlantic slave trade in the 16th 
and 18th centuries." What? My heart is broken.I feel so guilty how can i worry about such petty things when i have my freedom?



Check out this link it is scary how close this
 is happening to home:





Sari Bari is a safe home where women, who have been 
exploited in the sex trade, can have their dignity 
restored and experience new life in the making.

  1. I wrote my literary analysis on human trafficking fall of freshman year! It is terrible, and the US is definately involved! Awareness is the key!
