Maybe we don't know more about this cuz we don't wanna. Today, a Long Island couple was found guilty of enslaving and torturing their 2 Indonesian housemaids. Click here to read the article from CNN.
Essence Magazine just published an article about Mende Nazer, who wrote a book, "Slave", about her abduction and being forced into slavery at 12.
{By the way, great job, Essence!!! The book was written in 2004. Nice way to keep folks informed on the state of our people!}
Found another article about how bad human trafficking is in Tanzania!!!! Finally, another about a possible agreement by the WTO to legalize slavery and how it would affect women!!!!
But, alas, some good news!!
If you feel that this is an important issue, make your voice heard...VOTE!!
Also, check out Anti-Slavery.Org for more info.
Remember, it doesn't take anger to make change, it requires awareness and action.

I came across you on Blog Catalog, and thought I'd check out your blog. At first, it was plainly obvious that we couldn't possibly be more different - after all, I've never given my color a second thought, and I am generally apathetic to...well...everything!
As I have been reading through your well thought-out posts, I began to see all the things in common we do share, and felt jolted out of my comfortable complacency.
Thank you! You are an amazing woman, and I look forward to your future entries. Keep up the great work!
none of them will do anything, thats whats wrong with politics and it would be fatous to expect anything more
