Be careful; There are wolves in the world. Wolves I tell you. Today more than ever the existence of evil is inordinate. Many people full of cupidity, hate, and distress do things that are inhumane. Decadence is everywhere. A few days ago I saw the movie "Trade" for the second time. The film is highly impacting and exposes one of today's most atrocious crimes: Human trafficking. "Human trafficking is the second largest and fastest growing criminal industry in the world. Victims experience a loss of freedom and exploitation at the hands of their traffickers who buy and sell them in pursuit of profit. As a result, human trafficking is commonly known as modern-day slavery.
In human trafficking situations, traffickers gain complete control over victims and force them into the labor, services, or commercial sex industry in order to generate profit from their labor and commercial sex acts. Some of the forms of violence traffickers use to control their victims include brutal beatings, rape, lies and deception, threats of serious harm or familial harm, and psychological abuse." (http://actioncenter.polarisproject.org/learn/human-trafficking-101) There are more slaves today than at any point in history. The first time I heard that I was in disbelief. That is very alarming. We need to do something to help end Human trafficking, along with the many crimes and injustices that occur today. Many people have no idea of the dangers that exist around them. 7 out of 10 people who I have spoken to about human trafficking did not even know what it was, nor that it exist. It is never to late to bring about change and help educate for a much better future.
