love146

lets share some numbers:

27 million people are enslaved around the world today
80% of them are children and women
every 30 seconds someone is sold
florida [my home state] is #2 in the nation in human trafficking

her number was 146

now what are you going to do about it?

human trafficking is something we dont talk about. yet we have heard. is it too uncomfortable, or is it that its only happening in these far away places. last week in palm beach county, a house was raided for being used as a brothel for women who were brought into the u.s. to work as sex slaves. one young woman was brought into the u.s. at the age of 14 and was transported from atlanta, to new york and various "hotspots in florida. girls as young as 7 are being sold on "menus" in cambodia and thailand as they watch cartoons in matching red dresses behind glass walls. this is happening in neighborhoods all across the united states. in our backyards. and we can not stay silent any longer. these are our sisters. and our brothers. our children. and when they have lost their voice. we must scream and fight. for justice.
