Can you imagine if there was no slavery in our world? Would that mean no chocolate, sugar, inexpensive clothing or cheap electronics? Wait, back up....is slavery that big of a problem, today? YES, modern slavery is happening, today! Whether the victims are teenage
soldier-slaves in Uganda; entire families forced to work in South Asian
factories without pay; a runaway in Canada who has been enslaved and exploited through prostitution; or a child working in a sweat shop in China....human trafficking
enslaves 27 million people around the world and generates $30 billion annually.
At least half of the victims are children. To get help in Canada, call 9-1-1 or if you wish to report a crime anonymously, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or go to an emergency shelter/community organization Remember. Do not take the law into your own hands or get involved in any illegal activities. |
