Today, more human slaves exist than in any other period of history.
Don’t you wonder why drugs and crime remain top priorities in our country, while human trafficking—the second largest industry on Earth—remain virtually ignored? It’s time we convinced not only the candidates for the U.S. presidency, but for all politicians everywhere to make stopping human trafficking a part of their political agenda while in office.
Today, more human slaves exist than in any other period of history. Though we were all taught that the Emancipation Proclamation ended slavery as we know it in elementary school, the fact remains that there are currently 27 million human slaves around the world today. These people have absolutely no freedom and make no money for the work they do, rather it is industrial, farming, domestic, or sexual work. All of it is coerced, and most of it is very violent, certainly no way that anyone would want their children to live.
