I can't believe i'm only the second to comment. More people need to see this!

This is such an important thing to learn! it should be presented in schools and make children aware! everyone should watch the documentary called :Human Trafficking. It aired on many huge tv channels like CBC, ABC, NBC and many others . People need to start caring!! I would like to help, but I feel there is nothing i can do besides start a stop the traffick club at school, as im only a young girl myself

structural police problem in New York

Minute 04:35

Kikka Cerpa, from Venezuela , told the harrowing story of how she was forced into prostitution in New York 18 years ago, by her former boyfriend.

She told the Human Rights Council:“The other women and I were arrested over and over for prostitution. Never did the police or prosecutors ask us if we were trafficked. Never did they offer us help and protection.”

@mwright1thing Face him... stand up straight look him in the eyes and show him HE DID NOT WIN! even if he doesnt get alot of jail time or none at all he will burn in hell and that something he can never escape. You standing up and facing him will show him u are not as weak as he thought and u will go on and live your life. Best of luck to u and whatever decision u make :)

Those with powers are supporting it. It would be over by now if they aren't.

I hope Americans see these, and learn to come together as a community..

let not the laws, and the capitalist ruin your mind,

remember we are all humans, and if you know anyone in trouble, help them, or tell someone who can help them.

Standing behind human trafficking while it goes on, is just as bad as being a participant.

My good vibes go out to all the victims, I can relate. . I hope you travel well and escape..
