Human as Commodities: Human Trafficking & Slavery

Before we go on to discuss human trafficking in foreign countries, let us get this fact out of the way: As you’re reading this, people are being trafficked right here in the United States, here in Oregon. Yes you’ve read right!

"Do you give a sh*t?"

Do you have a toilet at home? If yes, you are already luckier than 2.5 millions of people who don't. Now, imagine if you are one of those people. 

Imagine life without a toilet. [...]


Do you think you could survive? Do you think you could "give a sh*t" out in the open? What is the probability that you'll be spotted by say, your loved one or even a stranger? How would you feel? Have you ever thought about the true meaning of dignity? (WTD)


This is no laughing matter. Around 1.1 billion people in the world practice open defecation. “Without toilets illness and disease win. Diarrhea is the second leading cause of death among children under the age of five in the world…It kills more children than malaria, AIDS, and measles combined” (TD). 

For those who have access to a toilet, feel grateful, think global and be helpful. How?
