They arrest groups involved in forced prostitution every year in Seattle. Its a very big problem

I watched a few movies about human trafficing. Not a pretty sight

Glad to see other people fighting this good fight.  

I am opposed to anything like this ... how could anybody not be, I wonder.

Thanks for sharing this; there's a lot of other things that I'm sure we're unaware of as well!

Now, this is a blog with heart!! Awesome message

This is a really important issue that not a lot of people pay attention to. Simply because a country has outlawed something like slavery does not mean that it does not exist. Slavery especially with regard to human trafficking is a huge issue that still faces many countries today including the United States.

@JadedJanissary - @ShamelesslyRed - @trunthepaige - @homemadehappiness - So, who would like to free a slave by buying them out of slavery or keep them out of the slave market by sponsoring them so they can get an education, medical care and  provide for their daily needs?  If you are interested, one group is Central India Christian Mission  Although slave aid is not the primary work, they do help in buying slaves back so they can live with their families again.  For $15/month you can sponsor a child and make an impact 

Don't forget they clean the rooms so that you people trash when you reserved it in a 5 star hotel. Take it for example Silver Mountain located in Kellogg, Idaho. Where instead of hiring locals for at least get a better quality of life, they hire through a "work program" Asians from Thailand and China. Now, it may seem a fair trade, but it's not since they receive 7 dollars an hour when a new employee with benefits is receiving $6.95 an hour. And that's not all, they live under deplorable conditions and these poor kids (who don't speak English most of them) have to pay $70 dollars a day per person for staying while a friend of mine who lives there pays only $450.00 a month. These foreigners have to work over 35 hours a week under contract so they want to work more in order to pay the rent. I used to work there and it was a joke coming there, working hard to then try successfully to kick me out, and I wasn't the only one, three left the job after I left and one has been laid off, to then leave these kids doing these jobs. The reason for doing it, it's because they're losing money, from their health insurance, to employees taking "overtime." I'm back to my old job (minimum wage with no benefits) since two months ago and it's unfortunate that companies instead of helping the community, these greedy bastards hire foreigners who are willing to even get pay under the minimum. That's also slavery! Please, Boycott Silver Mountain specially Morning Star Lodge! 

@Loonsounds - I would wonder the same @WalkingaNewPath - Yes they are and this is one of them  @homemadehappiness - Thank you for taking the time to read about it. @leadworshipper82@revelife - Thanks for mentioning it. I'll take a look

Although I had already read earlier in my life about this problem, I'm amazed that this atrocity had slipped my mind shortly after and up until now. Slavery must be one of the most dangerous problems in the world, simply because the realization of BEING a slave is similar to having a disability which is created by the mind. The acceptance of having no rights, no hope, no self worth/respect, why, that alone almost takes away any value of being a human being. In most cases, i think its safe to say that while "progress" for mankind is always seen as a positive thing, its a shame when we use other humans as the sacrifice to build that road to progression, whether it's progression of the self or of a community/country/planet/etc

And lets not forget walmart.

Slavery is never going to end. If they can't do it legally, they'll do it illegally. Why? Because people are lazy and have no respect for someone who looks/lives differently than they do.
