Human Trafficking Rsearch
I'm about 90 pages into the book Trafficked. Although nothing bad has happened yet, I can tell she won't be happy in America for long. Knowing that the main character, Hannah, will struggle with the problem of Human Trafficking I decided to do some research on what it's really about. Human Trafficking is described as 'Modern Day Slavery'. Mainly women and Children are sold to be beaten, starved, forced to be prostitutes, and work days on end with no sleep. Although there are hundreds of organizations to help stop human trafficking, in the United States alone, 14,500 to 17,500 people are illegally sold into human trafficking every year.

Sydney, this is also a topic I've looked into because it sickens me that it's still going on and what I found out is that OHIO has the most human trafficking in it than any other state in the US. How awful is that!! Children, girls, women have to be so careful and cautious. I wish this terrible abuse could be stopped. I look forward to reading more comments you have on this topic and this book in particular.
