that's one stupid fricking picture
slavery in one country was abolished 150 years ago
the world's population was approximately 1.3B back then LINK
today? approximately 7.1B. only 5.46x the population
so yeah, there's going to be more people in slavery. i bet per capita it is nowhere close to the same, and that's all that matters

Eta: never mind I agree it could be worded better. But it's a huge problem that a lot of people do think is "okay," especially in forms most people might not associate with human trafficking. It is usually a lot more subtle than 16 Thai girls in a rape van.
I don't think anyone thinks it's okay. If you're the type of person who will sell someone into sex slavery, I don't see you being all that worried about social norms.

See, I have a really hard time buying this line of bullshite, unless the definition of "slavery" they are using is so ambiguous that they can shoehorn whoever they want into it.

This is not some softened, by-modern-standards definition of slavery. These 30 million people are living as forced laborers, forced prostitutes, child soldiers, child brides in forced marriages and, in all ways that matter, as pieces of property, chattel in the servitude of absolute ownership.
i know those 2 are probably not a significant chunk, but that's not really "slavery"
and yeah a lot of the forced laborer slavery, esp outside of africa, is contractual indenture servitude more than "slavery"

exactly
normal people don't think sex slavery is OK
but what can they do? nothing

I'm a slave for voluntarily taking on six figures of student loan debt for a pointless degree from a for-profit college in a terrible economy.
I demand to be freed from these shackles!

can this be equated to the breast cancer awareness campaign? There's really nothing I can do about titty cancer.
Well except let the female people around me know it's ok to go get em checked out from time to time.

There's this thing called donating money you might not be aware of. No, it's not getting out there all Liam Neeson and freeing them guns a blazin, but it helps. I've donated before. I hate to say it, but I became more motivated after I saw the stats about how big it is in the states.
So no, were not going to go all Rambo on the problem, but the more people are educated about it, the better chance there is to get the resources to help battle it.
In a lot of people's eyes, including mine, indifference is the same as saying it's OK. I think the sign is spot on.

Why would they be selling if their wasn't a demand for it?

when the "anti-human trafficking" organizations start being more concerned about their brand than their group's effects, you can compare them
the susan g komen organization is an evil, evil organization that primarily cares about its brand

to LE to do their job? Or is the money only going to billboards to make us aware of the problem?

that's not awareness
and i don't see how donating money will help this, and i just posted a chart that shows how that line of thinking is deranged
we just went over this same discussion with the ice bucket challenge (which is over, apparently)

it's not that big in the US
oh, but then they skew the data comparison to make us look bad

how do you "help battle it", exactly, without force?

and that is ridiculous. complete irrationality based in emotional thinking. that sort of thinking should be mocked to the point where it is eliminated from proper society. leave that sort of emotional-irrational thinking for the trailer park

Yup. Kind of why I made this thread.

If your donation goes towards signs on the interstate then no, it doesn't help. Just makes you feel better.
