Modern Day Slavery
|
All around the world slaves are being bought and sold. People are advocating to end slavery everywhere. There are many ways to end modern day slavery like creating websites, calling numbers to tip off potential slavery actions, and to change buying habits. People creating these sites are against slavery. You can donate to end slavery. Another way is to call the National Human Trafficking Resource Center or any other hotline. You can call to warn them about potential slavery actions you possibly hear about or see. Another way people try to end slavery is by changing their own buying habits. If one stops buying staff members from slave factories, then the owners won’t be making any money and run out of business. There are many people who publicize the issue by posting videos, writing articles and creating websites. A video titled “Help Free the Slaves Liberate 55 Indian Villages” expresses that people should donate to help other villages to get jobs, education, and even lawyers to set them free of slavery. This video has made a huge impact and the small Indian village has been set free and they are now aware that slavery is illegal. There is also “Modern Day Slavery: A Problem that Cannot Be Ignored” which is an article written about what slaves go through and now many more people have noticed the issue. A campaign website known as “Walk Free” informs people about modern day slavery. Lastly, there is another video by the name of “Modern Day Slavery – Supply Chains” that tells everyone how a lot of the object and materials people own are made by slaves. Finding things that are not made by slaves are had to come by. Anti-slavery leader, Shyima, is a woman who worked as a slave for a very long time but was later rescued by a suspicious neighbor. Another notable leader is Kevin Bales. Mr. Bales is an author who wrote the book “Disposable People”. Tony Maddox is another leader and is a writer for CNN who recently wrote about how big of a problem slavery is and how it cannot go ignored. Last but not least, Melissa Hogenizoom is a BBC News writer who wrote an article about modern day slavery. The map that we have discovered shows the slavery population all around the world. India leads with 19 million slaves and following behind is China with 13.2 million slaves. What may be found surprising is that the U.S. contains 60,000 slaves. That is more than Canada, Australia, and some parts of Europe. Australia has the least amount of slaves and they also have a lot of campaigns and websites fighting against slavery. We believe that “Walk Free” has the best source of information about slavery and shows people they can help by donating and fighting against it. There are many ways to help and one of the best ways to get involved in campaigns to end modern day slavery.
