Human Trafficking Awareness Day

Today is Human Trafficking Awareness Day. I think it's important that someone has actually made a day to inform people that slavery is still around. And it's more plentiful than ever before. And they have been reported in every country of the world except for Greenland and Iceland. There are even slaves in America.

Don't believe me? Well then I highly recommend you research it. In November, I had to write a 15 page research paper on any subject of modernity so I chose modern day slavery. My research was shocking and saddening. Part of my findings is why I don't eat chocolate unless it's Fair Trade. If you're interested in learning more about the subject, which I highly recommend studying, you can e-mail me and I'd be willing to send you my paper, which has a very long list of sources, or I'd highly recommend reading E. Benjamin Skinner's book, A Crime so Monstrous: Face-to-Face with Modern-Day Slavery (Warning: this book is not for the faint of heart!). 


Modern Day Slavery is a huge global problem that needs to be stopped. Luke 4:18 says, "He (God) has sent me (Jesus) to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed,"


What can you do to raise awareness to stop this evil?
