Take a moment to read Benjamin Skinner's recent article in TIME: "South Africa's New Slave Trade and the Campaign to Stop It." Even now, child sex traffickers are preparing for major business during the upcoming World Cup. If anyone you know is traveling to South Africa for the games, bring this up. Ignorance and silence always works in favor of traffickers.
Check out some of the events taking place around the country today in honor of Human Trafficking Awareness Day, listed courtesy of Change.org.
Visit the Polaris Project Action Center for ways to keep informed and ideas to be actively involved.
Do a Google News search today on "human trafficking" "child sex trafficking," and read up on this week's news. Social networks are one of the best opportunities to get the word out and raise awareness--consider Tweeting or sharing these articles on Facebook to help open your friends' eyes. Or even set up Google Alerts for these terms to stay up-to-date every day.
Here's a chance to honor those who are enslaved by making the most of this awareness day.
