We're working on our first fashion posts. Any ideas? Is there anyone in particular that you think should be profiled? A celebrity or public figure with great taste? A designer who never seems to fail? Let us know your thoughts, we would be happy to include your choices!
Check out this CNN Freedom Project video about human trafficking in our Nation's Capital.
From the FBI's Human Trafficking Website:
"It’s sad but true: here in this country, people are being bought, sold, and smuggled like modern-day slaves.
They are trapped in lives of misery—often beaten, starved, and forced to work as prostitutes or to take grueling jobs as migrant, domestic, restaurant, or factory workers with little or no pay. We’re working hard to stop human trafficking—not only because of the personal and psychological toll it takes on society, but also because it facilitates the illegal movement of immigrants across borders and provides a ready source of income for organized crime groups and even terrorists."
From Us, To You
Our thoughts and prayers are with all who are still suffering through the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.
Click the picture to visit Homeland Security's ICE site on human trafficking for great information about domestic trafficking.
Check out this CNN Freedom Project video which follows Common in his fight against modern day slavery in Haiti, where children are forced into labor.
From the Blue Heart Campaign against Human Trafficking website:
"UNODC, as guardian of the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime (UNTOC) and the Protocols thereto, assists States in their efforts to implement the Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons (Trafficking in Persons Protocol). The Blue Heart Campaign raises awareness of the problem and inspire those with decision-making power to effect change."
From PBS' website:
"After a report aired on the NewsHour about what's being done to counter human trafficking in the Philippines, we invited you the viewers to send us your questions about the problem in the United States and abroad.
Special correspondent Fred de Sam Lazaro and Beth Klein, a Colorado lawyer who helps victims of human trafficking, answered your questions (edited for clarity)"
One phone call could save a life. If you suspect human trafficking, call the National Human Trafficking Hotline.
What is the National Human Trafficking Resource Center (NHTRC)? The NHTRC is a national, 24-hour, toll-free, anti-trafficking hotline operated and implemented by Polaris Project and funded by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). The NHTRC works to improve the national response to protect victims of human trafficking in the U.S. The NHTRC maintains a national database of anti-trafficking agencies as well as a library of available anti-trafficking resources and materials. The NHTRC also works in collaboration with the anti-trafficking movement in the United States, which includes: HHS Rescue and Restore Coalitions, DOJ-funded Human Trafficking Task Forces, FBI Innocence Lost Task forces, Federal victims’ services and outreach grantees, statewide human trafficking task forces, community-based initiatives, and on-going research projects.

About Global Centurion
The Global Centurion Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to playing a vital role in eradicating the scourge of human trafficking, especially child sex trafficking, by focusing on the demand side of the problem.
Founded by Dr. Laura J. Lederer, who also founded The Protection Project at Harvard University’s John F. Kennedy School of Government and who served as a Senior Advisor on Trafficking in Persons and as a Senior Director of Global Projects in the Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons at the U.S. Department of State, GCF supports the efforts of a diverse community of professionals, students, and individuals who are dedicated to bringing to an end human trafficking. Among its many activities:
GCF encourages interdisciplinary research, teaching and scholarship.
GCF gathers data about how the United States and foreign countries address the demand problem through laws, criminal justice and educational programs, as well as law enforcement techniques with the goal of identifying and developing best practices that can be tailored to suit the needs of different communities.
GCF analyzes data to identify human trafficking trends (e.g., new techniques used by traffickers to recruit victims and solicit customers) in order to advise policy makers, rescue and restore organizations, and law enforcement officials about how to better utilize existing resources and how to improve victim identification and protection services.
GCF designs training programs for responsible officials going into “hot spot” areas where trafficking is likely to occur in order to sensitize them to the issue, to enable them to identify victims, intervene, and immediately get them into programs that help them, and to provide information about the victimizers to the authorities.

About Innocents at Risk
Innocents at Risk is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded to fight child exploitation and human trafficking. Our mission is to educate citizens about the grave issue of global and local human trafficking. We are dedicated to protecting children from all forms of abuse, and work to end child exploitation and child trafficking everywhere.
Since 2004, Innocents at Risk has been working to raise awareness about the horrors of child trafficking in America and around the world. We conduct educational outreach programs through churches, clubs, organizations, schools and embassies. Our awareness DVD has been used at every major embassy and throughout the United States as an educational resource.
In 2007, we began training airline personnel, who are our first line of defense in protecting the countless children who are trafficked on major flights each day. Our brochures, wrist bands, and educational workshops have armed thousands of flight attendants with information on how to recognize and report trafficking before even reaching the ground. With the help of our new partner, Airline Ambassadors (airlineamb.org), we are working to expand our outreach to all major carriers.
Child trafficking affects all of us. TOGETHER, WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE FIGHT AGAINST CHILD TRAFFFICKING.
