It really made me sad. Since we don't even see it going on, we can just imagine how badly these people are treated.<br /><br />I remember reading a story about a man who went down to Haiti to buy a slave for a few hundred dollars. They were just selling children on the streets.

If you (and others) are interested in this issue of sex trafficking, one non-profit (of many) directly working to address this is called Zoe Children's Homes. http://zoechildren.org/ They rescue kids that are either trapped in the sex trade or kids that are at high risk of being trafficked. These kids are often orphans or don't have a viable family, so Zoe takes them into this home in Thailand where the kids are fed, cared for, and restored. It's a really great non-profit that's doing some amazing things in Thailand and Myanmar. Another more well known non-profit that's conducting rescue operations is the International Justice Mission. www.ijm.org<br /><br />Again, great post, Jen!cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07183379436848580494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3265224172200387426.post-47640651473451864172010-08-09T23:05:37.433-07:002010-08-09T23:05:37.433-07:00i got a chance to sign the petition this weekend w...i got a chance to sign the petition this weekend when i stocked up on their back to school sale. yay for making a difference!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3265224172200387426.post-56342324839281820442010-08-09T21:49:53.892-07:002010-08-09T21:49:53.892-07:00I actually learned about this in my Social Injusti...I actually learned about this in my Social Injustice class freshamn year in college and it really opened my eyes to issues aren't really well-known or exposed to the rest of the world.

I'm not talking about ...this is really weird!!! I'm not talking about your post being weird but the fact that I was up late last watching a 3 hr special on sex trafficking. I haven't checked your blog in a long while and to my surprise you brought this to everyone's attention. God, i was tearing up watching all these little girls getting forced to have sex for money that they can't even keep and even worse brainwashed. I really don't understand why they don't do anything about craigslist erotic service section. I first heard about that when last year a girl who posted up a sex ad on craigslist and went to a hotel in boston and got murdered by the guy that took her offer on craiglist. So they could only get craigslist to change under services erotic to adult. They should have been removed completely! Now these pimps are harder to catch because they control everything through online sites like craigslist and everyday these assholes are making alot of money off of the girl. I say track all these assholes IP address and lock them all up!!! Sex trafficking is a multi billion dollar industry. 1 girl alone makes up to 1 grand a night! And it all goes to those bastards that took them away from their innocence, their family, and friends... San Francisco has the most human trafficking brothels. They can be so close to us and we wouldn't know a thing about it because they make their girls live in basements and it's so dirty even for animals it isn't livable. Sorry if i wrote so much but this is something I would like to see a change on too! Thank you Jen!
