Mission Statement:

My research suggests that, though some people have heard the term "human trafficking" not many know that it is simply a euphemism for another word: slavery.

Yes, contrary to popular belief the practice of slavery thrives around today, both internationally and right here in America.

The purpose of this blog is to provide useful, credible resources to show that human trafficking and slavery are the same, redefining the term so that you, the reader, will be armed with the understanding you need to comprehend the inner workings of this shadowy practice.

This Table of Contents describes the "Pages" that appear on the sidebar. It should help guide you to the salient parts of this educational website.

Table of Contents


  • Page 1: Popular Misconceptions about Human Trafficking
    • If you have never done any research into human trafficking, or only know about it through hearsay, you are not alone. This page is designed to help you recognize the misconceptions about human trafficking so that you can more easily address them.
  • Page 2: Defining Slavery to Include Human Trafficking
    • On this page, the broad endeavor of this blog, to redefine human trafficking as slavery, is outlined in broad terms. This section builds upon the "Popular Misconceptions" page and gives a general introduction to the last two pages, "Slave Labor" and "Sex Trafficking" which provide specific examples of modern human trafficking and reinforce the connection between those practices and what is commonly known as slavery.
  • Page 3: Slave Labor
    •  The specific connection between modern human trafficking and the practice commonly known as slavery begins here. Since labor is commonly connected with slavery, clear examples are provided that show how modern human trafficking exploits its victims for the purpose of labor.
  • Page 4: Sex Trafficking
    •  This section connects the last and perhaps the most pervasive form of modern human trafficking, sex trafficking, with slavery. Since sex trafficking or prostitution is the practice least often connected with slavery in people's minds, this section builds on all of the definitions and examples that have come before in order to include the practice of prostitution under the term "slavery."
