Non-profit of the month: January, 2008 - Polaris Project

One of my friends is a supporting of Polaris Project.

It is hard to believe but slavery still exists.

Today, it is known as human trafficking.

What does that mean?

From Polaris ...

Trafficked persons are forced or coerced into labor or sexual exploitation. Under international law, all children who are commercially sexually exploited are considered trafficking victims, even if no force or coercion is used. Sex trafficking is one of the most lucrative sectors of the trade in people, and involves sexual exploitation in prostitution or pornography, bride trafficking, and commercial sexual abuse of children. Labor trafficking is widespread not only in situations of domestic servitude and small-scale labor operations, but also in sweatshops and farms that are subcontracted to major multinational corporations.

This kind of injustice must be opposed.

Please consider supporting an organization that is in the fight to end modern-day slavery.
