Human Trafficking Awareness Day: 27 million people are enslaved right now

Posted by Susan Gordon on January 11th, 2011

Today is National Human Trafficking Awareness Day. I first learned about human trafficking while working as a political organizer in San Francisco. I had a volunteer who, during the day, worked for an anti-trafficking organization called SAGE (Standing Against Global Exploitation) and, by night, came in and made phone calls to voters about the mid-term elections. One day, I asked her how her day was and I had no idea the response that simple question would get. She told me that she’d spent the day “busting” a massage parlor near Union Square, a popular tourist and shopping area in San Francisco. SAGE collaborated with the local police led a charge where they found 20 women kept in cages on a wall in the back of the massage parlor. Slaves from around the world, from Southeast Asia to Eastern Europe and slaves even California, are trafficked in and through San Francisco every day. I had absolutely no idea.

Cuando la realidad / se parece a la ficción/

Lunes 16 de agosto. Los diarios del día de hoy anuncian que la policía atrapó a uno de los encargados de “La Casita Azul”. Con este nombre usted puede pensar que ese lugar es un jardín de infantes. Pero no. No es lo que parece. Es un prostíbulo. ¿O también es lo que parece? Lamentablemente, un prostíbulo también puede ser un jardín de infantes. / La película Nina muestra como Lourdes, una niña paraguaya, y Nina, una adolescente misionera, son capturadas para ser esclavas sexuales.
