About Me

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.

Spring '11 Post

I am very into energy, and intention, so I honestly believe the Against Child Trafficking Club at NYU is influencing other dimensions into positive good. Just by meeting up, creating this blog, and actively thinking about how to come up with solutions, we are healing the world's energetic psychosphere, and building a defense for these poor women, girls, children, and men that are trafficked and slaved.

 For my blog week, I decided to do some very basic research on other against trafficking groups in New York. There were a bunch of things I found on meet up.com, especially a lot of events co-hosted by http://fightslaverynow.org/ .

here is their calendar: http://www.meetup.com/Fight-Slavery-Now/events/calendar/#initialized

 last week, I published a link to a small article on the website Good that aims to increase awareness about human trafficking. Good is a very reliable newsource. I have seen a lot of tweets about this very subject recently, and I'm glad it is getting more attention.

Anyway, the biggest topic in my mind has to do with the lack of awareness of this issue. It is so easy for us in America to think that the 1800s and the period of American slavery of blacks has been the worst. It's also really easy to think that we don't have slavery now, because of all the abolitionist laws and other things like that that were passed. I just get really upset when I see people care about stupid things are small issues, or issues that are really effective, when they would so want to help out with this issue if they knew they could and how.  I just want to and with this quote, because it simply calls for more action, and shows that our humanity is not getting better, and really is at risk.


There are more people in slavery today, than at any other time in human history.” ~Kevin Bales, author of “Disposable People”
