Slavery in our own communities. 21st Century Slavery.




Slavery does exist in its' simplistic form.  It exists in our need for shelter, water, food, for emotional and physical comfort, and drug addiction.

During times of disasters.  In the local and international shelters, in the distribution of water & food, in the movement of migrants and refugees from disasters and civil unrest.

Search for events on slavery (human trafficking and sex slavery) in your community.  Awareness is the first step.

                -Change SEARCH criteria for your region (U.S., Caribbean, Africa, etc.)
                   to your community.
