More and more people are beginning to speak out on the issue of human sex-trafficking and slavery… here is an interesting and informative post on the subject from a supporter of the victims…. all voices are welcomed on this site….
Day 78 Question 78:
What world issue tugs at your heart strings/needs more world-wide/media attention?
There are issues all over the world. It is unfortunate but this world is not a peaceful place. Every day we are shown images of war and hear about a school shooting where innocent victims lose their lives. I started reading a book called Half the Sky: Turning Oppression Into Opportunity for Women Worldwide. I am only about ¼ of the way into the book and my heart has absolutely melted. The first part of this book discusses human/sex trafficking of young women in countries such as Thailand and China. I knew this was happening. I know this is happening on the same land that I walk my feet on every single day. I know it happens everywhere but I just did not know about the brutality and the covering up that was being done.

Infuriating! Very sad.
Aye, indeed… this issue has become a call to action for me, since I first read a post by a survivor of the sex trade. All I can do for the moment is support them by re-blogging every article or post I find that speaks out against his societal blight, for as long as it takes to make a difference…. Thanks for caring enough to speak out with your comment….
Thank you.
it is a sad topic and it’s good if poets raise their voice and help raising awareness
Bless you gigoid for helping to bring this issue more to the forefront of the public’s mind. Such a horribly sad thing. Blessings my friend
Thank you….Considering the sacrifices made by some of the survivors I’ve read of recently make this the least I can do, given that it’s an issue that escaped my attention for most of my life, other than peripherally, as a distant intellectual concept. Their stories made it all real to me, and so I speak out when I can…. and intend to keep doing so….
