Our local newspaper featured an article on modern day slavery, and they seem to be a bit behind the times... my sister wrote an excellent response and sent it to the editor.

A couple excellent books should you want to read more about modern day slave trafficking:


Not for Sale: The Return of the Global Slave Trade-- and How We Can Fight It
by David Batstone


A Crime So Monstrous: Face to Face With Modern Day Slavery
by E. Benjamin Skinner and Richard Holbrooke


Disposable People: New Slavery in the Global Economy
by Kevin Bales

And a couple I haven't read yet:

Slave Next Door: Human Trafficking and Slavery In America Today
by Kevin Bales and Rod Soodalter

Sacred Bath: An American Teen's Story of Modern Day Slavery

Ending Slavery: How We Free Today's Slaves
by Kevin Bales


"Nobodies: Modern American Slave Labor and the Dark Side of the New Global Economy"
by John Bowe


Please Note: Due to the appalling yet veracious content of this material, it would be advisable to read these books with your eyes opened beforehand. Please prepare yourself for gruesome details and heart-wrenching accounts of unspeakable brutality. Don't let that keep you from reading them though! We cannot solve a problem without knowing all about it, and awareness is the first big step to change!!!
