I read this article (through Canoe) today and thought 'about time'! (Actually, it was slightly more blunt and effusive than that, but anyway...) Trafficking in human beings has been going on for hundreds of years, one way or another, but appears to have reached epidemic proportions of late. Yet precious little attention is dedicated to the issue. As the article linked here suggests, nobody really wants to admit that the food they eat (or the sex they buy) causes terrible suffering. This week the UN has convened the first ever global forum on human trafficking, and (once again - see yesterday's post) several celebrities are lending their voice to the campaign. Could this be the world's wake up call?
