Getting Close to My LAST Semester at this school

I'm really not looking forward to school. But at least this will be my last semester. Well, maybe I'll take a summer class, but that's different than a full semester. Anyway, went to church, didn't see some people that I had hoped to see, but I did see a friend who had surgery almost two weeks ago, so I was thrilled that she's doing much better. Went to Bible study, that was good, and I'm exhausted, but I'll post SOME Urbana stuff. Also, I got chocolate today, I was happy.

Human Trafficking isn't just people forced into prostitution or to work in brothels. It can also be in the form of:

-Garment factories

-Brick kilns

-Fishing & Farming

-Domestic Child Labor

Story: "Mya" (Name changed for privacy reasons)

-7 year old who was asked by her family to sell flowers on the street (fam was incredibly poor)

-Later she was sold to a stranger, who told her parents that Mya will be working for a good family, will ship the money she earns to the family, etc (this, unfortunately, turns out to be a lie).

-Mya was sold again, became a slave

-Held captive by bonds of fear

[Author's Note: Mya is from Myanmar. If you want to find out how her story ends, follow this link: http://www.humanwrong.org/. Mya's story is the furthest on the right, I think. You can read other stories of victims too. Some end happily, some not so happily.]

What's the solution

-Prevention

-Protection

-Prosecution
