I saw this warning poster in a Dallas restaurant yesterday.
My husband asked, “Does this still come up?” Yes, unfortunately, it still does. Right now, about 27 million worldwide people are forced laborers, slaves. Really. Sad, isn’t it? It’s so common, the State of Texas printed posters about it.
Diana Scimone works all the time trying to build awareness of modern slavery and to end it. She invited me to participate in National Human Trafficking and Modern Slavery Awareness Day. I wasn’t sure I had much to add. But once I was thinking about it, I saw this poster. How many times have a ignored similar signs?
That’s how awareness building works; it makes you notice things.

Thank you, friend, for this great post and the photo (which I may “borrow” on my blog :-) ). You are so right–trafficking is sadly all around us. Thanks for the great post and the great insights.
