There are some really great bloggers out there that are consistently writing good posts on child trafficking and modern-day slavery. So I'm introducing a new, semi-regular category called Links of Light that will pick out some of my recent favorites by other bloggers and share them with you.
The first installment:
- Regarding Thanks--and Giving: some tales of selfless giving to Love146, even during hard economic times, written by their wonderful accounting administrator, Jennifer Franz.
- "They are Merchandise Because They Are Just Pounds of Meat:" a look at the documentary "Lives for Sale" by Diana Scimone. Diana jotted down some thoughts she had as she watched the film, including this telling quote from a state attorney in the U.S. who prosecutes traffickers: "One of the first things I have to do is convince a jury that slavery actually exists."
- "Human Rights Remain Off the Radar Screen:" an op-ed by Paul Bernish on President Obama's recent trip to Asia and the lack of any direct address to human rights violations in the area.
- "Incredible Slavery Survivor-Activists Honored at Freedom Awards:" an encouraging look from the Emancipation Network at two modern-day heros in the fight against human trafficking. Read about how Sina Vann and Veero are singlehandedly saving hundreds of their neighbors from the slavery they escaped from.
