Human trafficking is modern-day slavery.
This is not a post which is going to give you figures of the billions of people (yes, people) who are exploited because this barbaric act is so much more than just figures on a page - this is real life, happening all across the world, right now.
Human trafficking is modern-day slavery.
Google defines human trafficking as 'the illegal movement of people, typically for the purposes of forced labour or commercial sexual exploitation'
How can one define human trafficking? It is so much more than the 'illegal movement of people' it is the infringement upon peoples rights, their freedom, their emotions. Trauma; physical and mental. Prisoners in their own bodies.
I could waffle on and on about how devastating it is - but lets get real, we all know the facts - but are we really doing anything?
My question is: how is slavery STILL happening in the twenty first century?
It goes a little like this:
A future
A promise
A journey
A realisation
A number
A hit
A scream
A grueling day
And repeat
And repeat
And repeat - never ending
Human trafficking is modern-day slavery.
