Presidents Address



"It ought to concern every person, because it is a debasement of our common humanity. It ought to concern every community, because it tears at our social fabric. It ought to concern every business, because it distorts markets. It ought to concern every nation, because it endangers public health and fuels violence and organized crime. I’m talking about the injustice, the outrage, of human trafficking, which must be called by its true name — modern slavery.” PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA

Ross Kemp’s Extreme World: Sex Trafficking in India

We just found this video from Ross Kemp’s Extreme World Series. I would highly recommend watching it (even though it is about 40min), as it shows all of the major contributing factors to sex slavery and trafficking in India in a holistic manner, as well as highlighting the magnitude of the problem. Ross shows the places where women are taken from, how they are taken and where they are trafficked to (from rural areas of extreme poverty through promises of a better life to major cities). He also interviews numerous people- the families of those who had children taken, women and children who were (and are) trafficked, the police and the traffickers themselves. Finally he also shows where women typically end up after they have been trafficked, enslaved and used: either killed, or HIV-positive with tuberculosis. This video definitely helps to encapsulate the severity, brutality and enormity of sex trafficking in India.
