Taken

This is out of the blue, I know. There's nothing in the news or in my personal life about it, but I'm feeling some real concern about the exploitation of women and children right now.
Sweatshops, human trafficking (aka slavery), forced prostitution and sex trafficking - these are serious problems that exist more widely than you might think in the world today - even in the United States.
There's nothing big I can do about it right now. I don't have money, or power, or influence, or even a wide reach of people who know me. I don't have Liam Neeson's "particular set of skills."  But I have a voice, and a little blog that a few people read.
If you are one of the people who do read this, know that there are a few small things you and I can do to help. If you are interested in learning more, click here for Information on Human Trafficking or here Learn What You Can Do to Help . It's not a lot, nor is it likely that you or I will change a life. But then again, what if you are the person a victim tries to reach out to?
