It is overwhelming and can be debilitating to think of modern slavery mainly because knowing it exists COMPELS us to do SOMETHING.
Education is key. With just a little bit of education, you can help rescue modern slaves TODAY.
The second-highest number of human trafficking victims are domestic house slaves. I know, it really doesn’t seem possible, but it is, it could be right next door to you and almost 100% of these slaves are women and usually women from foreign countries.
From their book, The Slave Next Door, Kevin Bales and Ron Soodalter, give a few questions you can ask yourself when you notice something that’s just not right:
1. Is this person unable to move freely, or is she being watched or followed?
2. Does she seem frightened to talk in the presence of others?
3. Does this person look to be of school age, but is she regularly seen working during school hours?
4. Are there signs of assault–bruises, cuts, bandages, limping?
5. Does she seem disoriented, confused, malnourished, or frightened?
If you think you’ve seen a domestic house slave, you can call (888) 373-7888.
Thanks for your ministry.
