~Today there are more than 27 million slaves in our world. That is more people than were extracted from Africa during the 400 years of the trans-Atlantic slave trade.” (Kevin Bales- Disposable People)
~According to a CIA report, 700,000 to 2 million women and children worldwide are victimized by traffickers each year.
~The UN estimates that around 4 million people a year are now traded against their will to work in some form of slavery.
~Trafficking in human beings is now tied with illegal drugs as the 2nd largest money making venture in the world, after illegal weapons.

Slavery. Human trafficking. I expect these topics to be discussed in history books... but as current events? In the year 2010?
When faced with the staggering reality of these facts, I ask myself the question, “What can I do?” What can ANY of us do to fight this evil?
