Protest4 Newsletter Out


"Protest4 an end to human trafficking is a response to the issue of sex-trafficking and modern-day slavery. We aim to unite individuals and groups in the fight against slavery in the 21st century"
This is a campaign that is only just getting off the ground, their latest newsletter is posted. No RSS feed yet but I suspect that it will come.

We tend to think that the slave trade is a thing of the past; unhappily not ...
"There are more slaves now than in the entire history of the transatlantic slave trade. There were at least 11 million Africans sold into slavery and exported to the Americas. Today, 200 years later, there are more than 20 million slaves across the world."
This is a campaign I encourage you to shadow and even join in.
