Make slavery a household word

July 23, 2011 by Georgia Mullen Leave a Comment

I was nearly speechless last week when a friend asked, “What is modern day slavery?” “Women forced into prostitution,” I blurted. “Forced farm labor!” Is what I see and read about every day invisible to the average American?

Human trafficking: the new drug trafficking

January 28, 2010 by Georgia Mullen Leave a Comment

Human trafficking is the world’s fastest growing unlawful industry. This year it is predicted to surpass the illegal drug trade, making it the world’s leading criminal activity. So say articles by Evens Sanon, Jonathan Katz and Megan McAdams in The Progress Report http://www.progress.org/2009/slavers.htm.
