Human Trafficking

A new concept of slavery is human trafficking.
Currently it is on a rise because of globalization and its 'free trade' concept (perhaps it is not such a great idea after all). Also, because of globalization not only one country, or even one region is effected, but rather it is the whole world. Just like the developing countries are promoting human trafficking, the developed countries are just as responsible for the brutal acts of slavery. United States alone is annually trafficking 30-40,000 women and children in the purpose of exploitation such as domestic work, sex work, and organ transplant. It is unfortunate to say but our countries, promoting peace, human rights, freedom of speech are responsible for such cruel act.
Lets do something, the power is in each one of us.
