I found this article on Somaly Mam’s Facebook page and it’s so disappointing to know that children who are victims of sex trafficking are instead treated like criminals of child prostitution. These minors are the ones being arrested, not their pimps. Seriously, what are we doing?
Yup the title is as ridicules as the actual law. Instead of police catching and preventing people from engaging in illegal sex they are actually taking part in it and involved in the most disgusting way possible.
From a young age, everyone is taught to call police for help in emergency situations therefore building a relationship based on trust with those officers who dedicate their lives to serving communities. Yet, that trust is broken once those individuals cross the line and knowingly or not, that’s exactly what Hawaii law enforcement is doing.
Do you agree with this law? Read the entire article on AOL.

Then, everyone goes silent once they find out why the girls were dancing.
The Ugly Truth Behind The Super Bowl And Sex Trafficking
Aaron Kaufman of Elite Daily targets the hidden truth behind this popular and long awaited event that attracts thousands of people including sex traffickers.
As the first month of the new year comes to a close and we begin to forget about our resolutions, one wakeup-call and action-boosting fact engulfs January and reminds us of a little known trade that goes on in the world.
January marks the end of one chapter and the beginning of a new one. It is a motivational month that influences habit. We wait until January to make changes for fresh starts; healthy eating, running, maybe some traveling, or even saving. January marks the beginning of better things to come so what better month to dedicate to Slavery and Human Trafficking than the first month of the year?
President Barak Obama has made the wise choice of dedicating a month to bringing awareness to modern day slavery and choosing January as the beginning of changes to come.
Obama’s Presidential Proclamation:
With this in place, we can all begin to remember the victims and think of ways to help, put an end to, and advocate for change against this billion dollar industry of human slavery.
How many TV shows can you name that even vaguely mention the topic of human trafficking?
CW’s Nikita, a remake of the French TV show “La Femme Nikita”, shows Alexandra Udinov, a Russian Heiress, using her status and skills in manipulation and street fighting to end human trafficking.
The show gives a glimpse into Alex’s past when she was drugged and sold in the sex trade. Later, when Alex is stabilized and trained to be a secret government assassin she returns to her roots and works to save victims of human trafficking. In a few episodes, we see Alex personally tracking, finding, and killing pimps while rescuing and freeing victims.
Luckily, Alex does not work alone. Nikita, Michael, and Berkof come together as a team to track powerful individuals who, for the most part, use adults and children as test subjects for new inventions designed for control and power over nations.
Though the show doesn’t directly focus on ending human trafficking, the villains are powerful heads in the industry and Nikita’s team all work to bring them down.
Nikita had a good four seasons on the CW and I encourage anyone who likes action to watch the show as she teaches viewers a lot about fighting for what matters.
“There are more slaves in our world right now than at any point in human history.”
We are asking people to understand that slavery still exists today; in fact, according to a recent New York Times article, if you count the number of women and children in bonded labor, domestic slavery or sexual slavery today, there are more slaves in the world than at any other time in history.

Today is the day to be thankful for the people and blessings in life. Take care of your family and think of the ones that have been taken from theirs.
All over the U.S. young girls are missing out on celebrating turkey day because they have been abducted by evil people and sold into the thriving sex industry.
Remember the victims.
