affluent urban americans most often do not even realize that slavery still exists in the world, even though they have virtually enslaved themselves to landlords, employers and banks. they don't realize that the chance that the sex worker they hire for the night is not voluntarily selling sex is very high. they don't realize that those clothing and housewares items they buy at the big box stores are likely to have been made with involuntary labor.
slaving is a very real problem. here's an organization established to take action against modern slavery.
http://globalfreedomcenter.org/GFC/index
The Global Freedom Center’s mission is to foster an expanded, knowledgeable and mobilized global community against human trafficking that will identify and assist more trafficked persons and develop the policies and strategies required to prevent modern slavery.
Vision
We envision global intolerance of slavery. Where people worldwide know that slavery exists and rally against it in their own capacity. Where the cultural norm is that slavery is abhorrent and, as such, rare.
Method
To achieve this mission, the Global Freedom Center:
Educates a broad range of professionals to identify and assist trafficked persons and prevent trafficking through cutting edge elearning and critical partnerships.
AND
Networks anti-trafficking professionals and provide them with advanced professional development and capacity building, leveraging innovative technology to expand participation.
Through the Center’s 5/20 Campaign, we will train five million professionals by the year 2020 to identify and prevent human trafficking. The Center targets eight largely untapped professional fields that must engage in anti-slavery efforts: education, health, labor and employment, immigration and migration, criminal justice, social services, journalism, and the corporate sector.
