There is no true freedom, no true Declaration of Human Rights, until the most ancient, and most barbaric form of cruelty – slavery - is abolished.

Slavery is not some distant reality that happens only in Africa or Asia. Slavery happens everywhere. Escaped slaves have been reported in France, where it was one estimated that there are around 3,000 slaves (Disposable People), and it also exists in America in the form of Unpaid Labor and sex slaves, the chocolate we eat may be a product from forced labor and rape.

Slavery is not legal. It is banned internationally, however perpetrators go unpunished. Because of the nature of today’s world, slaver traders must be more careful, more secretive, and extort more forced to break the moral of the slave victims. Rape and beatings, with the threat of death, and sacrifice of humans as examples are the new methods of torture to break the spirit of a human bean into submission. Kevin Bales explains that most of today’s slaves are used for a few to many years and then easily disposed of however in places like Mauritania where slavery is a tradition, and people are born slaves, slavery lasts a lifetime, and even after freedom, ties to the masters family are maintained.

Slavery is a crime against us all. I want to get the word out about what’s going on in our own backyards. We failed in stopping the Rwanda Genocide, We failed at the Holocaust, we are failing at keeping our promise to not allow Genocide to happen again, let us not fail in eradicating slavery once and for all.
