Human Trafficking

Soo.. Today is Human Trafficking Awareness Day. " What? Human trafficking?.. People being bought and sold?" Some of you might be thinking just that. Many people don't even realize slavery still exists.. Yet it's the fastest growing crime in the world. It's not just a crime.. It's a business. A terrible thing that must be stopped. 50% of trafficking victims are children. That means that for every adult slave... There's also a child being exploited. That's just wrong. 80% of all slaves are girls. It could be you, or someone you love. Human trafficking is awful, yet few know about it. I wonder what a difference we could make if we worked together to make everyone aware. Human trafficking is everywhere. There's no escape from it. Do your part. Make It known. Slavery exists. It needs to end. 
Make a difference.
