Today’s Human Trafficking Awareness Day.. Did you know that there are more than 27 million slaves in the world today? I recently 
attended the Passion 2010 conference in Atlanta, GA, and they ran a campaign called Do Something Now. Do 
Something Now allowed college students (and anyone else at Passion) to participate in impacting lives on a global scale. In the lower level of the Georgia World Congress Center was a mobilization center full of different stands from organizations such as Not For Sale, One Verse, Compassion International, and more. There were interactive, hands-on activities you could partake in…. for the organization Not For Sale, which works to equip and motivate activists to end slavery, the students at Passion were able to raise enough money for three refuge outposts for sex slaves to escape to.

After my month in Thailand, spent with two bar girls, Da and Ploy, who became like little sisters to me, I feel strongly about sex trafficking, the third most profitable organized crime after drugs and guns – generating BILLIONS of dollars a year. There’s something so wrong about all of this.
One of my triad members, Steph Tyrna (affectionately dubbed Tegan or Teegs), posted a powerful movie that highlights the horrors of human trafficking. This movie changed her life.. Please check out her blog!
