10 Types of Invisible Chains Traffickers Use to Keep Victims in Slavery

Hi!This is a very comprehensive look at what can cause modern-day slavery. Through my work with Minga (www.MingaGroup.ORG) I am always looking for clear-cut information like this and I especially am glad that you included sexual abuse in your list. Studies have shown that more than half of women sex workers in America were abused as children, and it's very important to recognize that abused children are at an even higher risk of entering into sex slavery.If you are interested in joining the movement to end the child sex trade through youth education and empowerment, go to www.MingaGroup.ORG.
