Good day fellow abolitionists! Just found a few nuggets
of valuable information on human trafficking and decided to share.
October is domestic violence awareness month and several
activists are coming out discussing the connection between human trafficking
and domestic violence. I actually had the wonderful opportunity to listen to a
presentation on the issue in the beginning of this year and it is great to find
out that the number of people interested in the issue is steadily growing. An interesting
blog post on the topic could be found here.
As many of you know, I am a self-proclaimed
chocaholic and therefore, it is often super hard to restrict my
chocolate intake. Realizing, however, that the cocoa industry is one of the
biggest stages for potential and realized child labour, I have decided to be
conscious about the chocolates I buy and make sure I do not eat someone's child’s
blood, sweat, and tears. As a result, I have long sworn off Hershey’s kisses!
It seems that the company’s management is finally coming to its senses and realizing
that customers demand fair practices, no child labour, and fair pay. Let’s see
how far that commitment goes. For additional details, click here.
That would be all for today (a gloomy and rainy
Sunday in DC), but be sure I will be keeping you posted on any new developments
from and around the anti trafficking world!
