A Needed Abolitionist Movement

While there is much buzz over the U.S. House apology for slavery and segregation, there is a rarely told active slave trade that fills the sexual appetites of the globe, including the U.S. and European nations. It buys, sells, and traps women and children for sexual exploitation. Tidbits of this story have unfolded in recent years, and now it has an opportunity to get the world's attention with the release of a new movie this fall, Call & Response.

Thanks to Eileen Flynn at the Statesman for bringing this to our attention. You can also comment on Eileen's Secular & Sacred Blog and read a 2004 State Department Report.

Are you a modern day abolitionist?
