A Quick Post...
While glancing at the CNN homepage today, I saw the main story: Sex slavery: A family business - The CNN Freedom Project: Ending Modern-Day Slavery
Here's a synopsis, if you don't want to read the whole article (although I would definitely suggest it): A Romanian man, Marius Nejloveanu (23), was sentenced to 21 years in prison -- the longest sentence ever given for human trafficking in Britain. He and his father, Bogdan Nejloveanu (51), were convicted of running a sex trafficking ring, luring several women between the ages of 15 and 23 from Romania to work as prostitutes in Madrid and Manchester. One of the girls was Marius' cousin; their close family is in denial the father and son have done anything wrong. The two would beat some of their victims with a guitar. The UN calls Romania a "hot spot" for trafficking victims.

P.S.: The post I meant to put up a couple of weeks ago will also be up soon.
About Me
- Her Name Is
- Hi there! This is a blog created by New York University's Anti-Child Trafficking Club, known as ACT. We're starting this blog as of November 2010 to spread awareness of human trafficking and update people on facts, stories and such. The name comes from our idea that so often people don't know the names of the women that are sex trafficked and their identities. This is also true to any type of trafficking. We want to get closer to those names.
so glad they are finally giving the longest sentece
