It is very sad to see that slavery still exists, years later, 121 years, to be exact. I would have thought
it would have been over, sad to hear it is still happening in Atlanta.
Modern-Day slavery is still happening everywhere, especially in Atlanta. It is known as human
trafficking. Atlanta is the #1 trading post for sexual slavery in the United States. Approximately
400 girls are sold every month.
How is this still happening?

Victims are lured in with the hopes of a better life, including the opportunity to get a job and to
receive an education.
That breaks my heart.

Me too. They are forced into domestic slavery, sex work, and are forced into doing industrial
labor. Major areas that this occurs in includes; Moreland Ave,Vine Street, Peachtree, and
Metropolitan Parkway

How and what are the modern day people of your time going to do to put an end to this?
Since many people are not aware of HumanTrafficking, many organizations have been started up
to help raise awareness in hopes to make it end. Most organizations don’t stop with just
awareness, but they also become advocates for changing the laws that govern human trafficking,
which is amazing!
