This program tries to recover and save people trapped in slavery. A few weeks ago on campus they gave a presentation in the CUB. This source clearly ties in with my topic because they try to create awareness about global slavery by visiting campuses and writing to local politicians; while at the same time rescuing slaves all over the world.
This program a lot like IJM creates awareness about global slavery, but puts most of the focus on doing research and saving people. They recognize that ending slavery isn't a quick fix but a process that has to involve dismantling the systems that perpetuate slavery.
This site explores the Ivory coast and how chocolate is a main commodity used in slavery. It also explains that the majority of child slaves there are from Mali, one of the poorest countries. Many people travel to the coast in order to find jobs and get sucked into slavery. This site explains another form of slavery, and connects it to a product that so many of us encounter in our daily lives.
This site has done a lot of research all over the world and shows how slavery touches every continent and country. It also goes further to explain structural problems that the countries have that have helped lead to slavery. This site helps to show that as Americans we can not keep trying to distance ourselves from slavery due to the simple fact that it happens right next door.
The Not for sale campaign is a lot like the IJM and free the slaves site except that they have an online store for products that haven't been affected by slavery. They really suggest getting people to help them by either donating or being involved. The take action section divides up if you are a person of faith, student, artist, athlete, teacher and so forth.
This site is for a club of career women all over the world that are at the top of their fields. Being a part of this group helps bring awareness to other while also funding international efforts in saving women and girls. This is the first group that shows women trying to take care of other women across the world.
CARITA'S focuses on case studies of rescued child soldiers. Their main focuses are creating awareness, and trying to create self reliance through development programs. CARITA'S also has a disaster relief section. This program highlights the need for structural change and self reliance.
Even though these facts are from 2008, you can find almost the exact same statistics today. This site would be a good source to educate people who are unaware of slavery today, or for those who do no understand its magnitude. It provides concrete facts about slavery today, and has a part on how to get involved.
This site goes more into detail about the history of slavery in the world and its affects on a global economy. It also brings up past abolitionist movements and "apologies." In this article they site the Bales book and how slavery still exists even after all the abolition movements.
This site will really hit home, it shows how slavery affects many different states in the US including Washington. This site does little to speak of the history of slavery but focuses on reporting cases that are occurring now.
Even though the today show does not go into global slavery, and focuses on the sex industry in America. I was surprised to see an article from MSN that discusses slavery. This website gives an account from a girl in Florida who was sold to a man in Texas. Her family now is trying to create more awareness on the sex industry in America.
Abolish slavery provides more information and true stories of young children and adults that have been in slavery. It also provides links to other international organizations such as Save Darfur. Abolish slavery is a non-profit organization designed to help rehabilitate people who have been in slavery and are dedicated to combating human trafficking.
This site provides more factual information and statistics for the readers. It highlights the main countries that poverty occurs and thus the different types of slavery that is the most common. This site does little to speak about this history of slavery and how its laid the foundation for slavery today.
This is another program that speaks of the underground railroad program of slaves. It stresses gaining knowledge about global slavery today, and provides a lot of information about slavery in the 21st century. This is another program that highlights that slavery does exist today and in the US.
This site goes in depth about the history of slavery specifically in Africa. It goes into detail about particular politicians who have an impact on slavery as well as "abolition" movements in the past. Does little to speak of slavery today.
