Book Recommendation: Not for Sale

The Return of the Global Slave Trade--and How We Can Fight ItNot for Sale: The Return of the Global Slave Trade–and How We Can Fight It (Paperback) by David Batstone

“An estimated 27 million people around the globe suffer in situations of forced labor and commercial sexual exploitation from which they cannot free themselves. Trafficking in people has become increasingly transnational in scope and highly lucrative. After illegal drug sales and arms trafficking, human trafficking is today the third most profitable criminal activity in the world, generating $31 billion annually. As many as half of all those trafficked worldwide for sex and domestic slavery are children under 18 years of age.”
