Are you passionate about the issue of human trafficking? Do you want to learn more? The following is a list of resources that will help you grow in your understanding of the problem and the solution.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t Derek Williams didn’t want to be a career pimp when he grew up. He dreamed of becoming an attorney. Abuse, neglect, and other trauma led him to the streets in search of a father figure. Instead, he found a three-bag-a-day heroin addiction.<\/p> \u00a0<\/p> At 16, he talked his 14-year-old girlfriend into letting him sell her, embarking on a 32-year career, trafficking more than 150 victims in all 50 states, Canada, and Europe.<\/p> Derek takes us deep inside the mind of a trafficker, pulling back the veil on the psychological warfare they wage against our children. Each chapter intertwines Derek’s story with evidence-based research, practical tools, and personal insights to not only prevent children from becoming the victim of someone like he was but to keep them from becoming who he was.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t An estimated 45.8 million people are enslaved in the world today. Although many have heard about human trafficking abroad, not many Americans are aware that sex slavery is a threat here in the United States. Our goal is to break the myth that sex trafficking is a foreign issue. It occurs right here in America, and Voices Against Sex Slavery in America points to different ways we can combat this illicit trade.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t With the power and verity of First They Killed My Father and A Long Way Gone, Rachel Lloyd\u2019s riveting survivor story is the true tale of her hard-won escape from the commercial sex industry and her bold founding of GEMS, New York City\u2019s Girls Education and Mentoring Service, to help countless other young girls escape “the life.” Lloyd\u2019s unflinchingly honest memoir is a powerful and unforgettable story of inhuman abuse, enduring hope, and the promise of redemption.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t In the revised and updated version of this harrowing yet deeply inspirational expos\u00e9, award-winning journalist David Batstone gives the most up-to-date information available on the $31 billion human trafficking epidemic. With profiles of twenty-first century abolitionists like Thailand\u2019s Kru Nam and Peru\u2019s Lucy Borja, Batstone tells readers what they can do to stop the modern slave trade. Like Kevin Bales\u2019 Disposable People and Ending Slavery, or E. Benjamin Skinner\u2019s A Crime So Monstrous, Batstone\u2019s Not for Sale is an informative and necessary manifesto for universal freedom.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\tRecommendations<\/h1>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
