Human Trafficking

Okay, I must admit, I'm a little naive. I always have been, probably because I didn't want to think that people were innately bad, but as I've grown up I've figured that out more and more. Well, it wasn't until college that I started hearing something about human trafficking. (I avoided reading newspapers and watching the news while in high school, because it was just to hard to watch. There is always something terrible happening in the world, and well I just wanted to stay away from it.) So, human trafficking, I understood that it was a major problem but didn't really know what I could do to help.

This morning via twitter I stumbled upon this video of a South African man who talks about the human trafficking issue there. Let me tell you it's powerful. I couldn't help but do anything but watch and just think about how horrible this life is for the women who are being sold and taken from their homes everyday. I urge you to watch this video.

What can you do to help stop human trafficking? Here's a link to the A21 Campaign. They are a group based out of Greece. Check out their website: http://www.thea21campaign.org/

Human trafficking is a more problem all of the world. Do you stand back and ignore the fact that it's happening (like I tend to do) or do you talk about it and become more informed and inform more people about this unbelievable problem?
