Trafficking and Slavery...

Recommended Posts

I posted this on Twitter last week, but I should probably post it here too.

 

It's an in-depth investigation of poor migrants, trafficked across borders and sold into slavery. If they try to escape, they've beaten or killed. If they don't try to escape, the mortality rate is pretty high anyway.

 

But you won't see much discussion of it, or hear it debated in Parliament, or see the religious do-gooders up in arms about it. There's no sex involved, and so they're not interested.

 

Read it, and weep...
