The U.S. is a country of transit and destination. Between 14,000 and 17,000 people most of them women and children are trafficked to our shores each year. This problem has gotten so bad that Congress passed the Trafficking Victims Protection Act. This Bill protects victims from: Forced Labor, Domestic Service, Sweatshops and Sexual Exploitation. I don't think most Americans are even aware of this problem. But yes, in the land of milk and honey these unthinkable acts are going on even as you read this. So if you suspect or see Human Trafficking please call 1-888-3737-888, this is the Angel Coalition hot line in America for reporting Trafficking.
