There was a good (well, depressing really, but you know what I mean) article in the Nov/Dec issue of Foreign Affairs on the global slave trade. You can read the preview, but if you want to read the whole thing you need a subscription. Here's hoping one of the presidential candidates turns this into the siginificant issue that it should be.
One of the defeated Reep senatorial candidiates I think, had this as an issue. It was definitely part of some candidate's platform in November. Anyone got a link?
What a world we live in! This woman, Somaly, who helps the children after having been victimized herself, must be an amazingly strong person. A true larger than life heroine.
