you end up meeting people like kosta grammatis who then intro you to judy boyle.. and then -
well then - your world is never the same...
the few short hours i've even known of jude - this is what i've learned...
human trafficking in her words:
In a nutshell my approach is
"If there weren't a demand, slavery would not exist. IT"S JUST A BUSINESS. simple as that - could be apricots - happens to be humans."
some sites she shared...
www.thepolarisproject.org (trafficking in US)
If you feel like a reality check yourself watch the trailer for PLAYGROUND on the FB page. George Clooney produced this. Hideous doco about child trafficking in US. But this might be too much if your students are under fifteen-ish. 300,000 children are used in the sex trade in US per day. Much through the internet.
Good movies - all on the site:
Human Trafficking with Donald Sutherland and Robert Carlyle.
Trade
i'll be watching this again..
we need to help Kosta with digital equity ahumanright.org - [yeah - this happens through the internet - but it's also the transparency and connections - the public awareness that can kill it.]
and
we need to help Jude.. saying no to human trafficking...
and
we need to help Jude.. saying no to human trafficking...
and -

they are clever.. they will make it happen ...
let's help..
