Anti-trafficking measures 'not fit for purpose'

"Ignorant" officials are obsessed with punishing victims of trafficking rather than targeting those behind the crime, a report claims.

A coalition of human rights groups says the system for handling victims in the UK is "not fit for purpose".
It wants an independent anti-trafficking watchdog to be created to oversee the work of officials.
The government says it will "look very carefully" at criticisms of the system "and act where necessary".

The Anti-Trafficking Monitor… Continue

Concern over human cost overshadows iPad launch

A must read for apple fans, in which im one..

The American electronics giant Apple was investigating damaging allegations last night that Chinese workers making its new iPad device were subjected to such "inhumane" treatment that some of them took their own lives by jumping off factory roofs.

Documents seen by The Independent reveal there are widespread failures by Apple's suppliers to respect standards on labour rights and safety specified by the company, which had sales of £3… Continue

Dan Rather does video piece on Portland, known as Pornland (my home city)

Child prostitution has become a national problem in this country. Yes, I know that you have trouble believing that. You don't want to believe it, so you tend not to.



"Widespread sex trafficking in children?", you may be saying to yourself. "Sure, it happens overseas in places like Thailand and Moldova, and while there may be some of it here there's not that much
of it in our country."



Based on a months long investigation and some reportorial digging, I'm here to tell you that

Hi Greg.

Will you be up in the Seattle area sometime soon? We've got SAS, and I'm a part of Students Against Slavery at UW, but one voice has always had a special place in my heart. I'd love to come support you sometime if possible, maybe hang out for a bit.

Thanks for what you are doing.

Hello greg,
My name is David Keaton and I am located in parsons Kansas. I am a youth pastor and friends with Andy Houltberg. We are about 2 1/2 hours from Kansas city and working with him on bringing awareness to human trafficking. I am also encouraging our youth to join in this movement. I just wanted to ask if it was okay to refer those I'm in contact with to this site and Just One? Primarily through facebook and events we have in our community. Thanks for all you do.

Thanks for the welcome! I was introduced to your site through Andy Houltberg.. met at a conference. I have been following the sex trade especially since witnessing it first hand in Cambodia. Been praying ofr the coalition there, and praying for how God might use me in Tampa to address the needs here.....any thoughts or connections in this area you can send my way, I'd be grateful.

Hello Greg. My name is Katherine Head and I work with David Long, who said you and I could do some very good work together. I was a photojournalist/editor for years, but had to get out due to the downturn. I've let my camera sit for too long, and now it's calling me to come back and do the documentary work that's in my blood. Human slavery, esp. the child sex trade, is something that I am compelled to address. I would like to start my journey here in Portland, and document some of the trafficking here. I live near 82nd, which seems like a hub for this sort of criminal activity. A lot of the so-called strip clubs are notorious fronts for more sinister things. I would love to take you out for a cup of coffee at the BiPartisan and pick your brain about where I should start and what light needs to be shed where. Eventually, my goal is to earn a fellowship and travel to India for a year, but I definitely need to start locally and help my own community. Any help you could give me would be so greatly appreciated. Thank you for all you do! Katherine
