Beyond Chocolate

Human trafficking exists in two forms: sex trafficking and labor trafficking. Both forms of trafficking are, in actuality, modern day slavery, and they force individuals—usually women and children—to do work or sex acts through force, fraud, or coercion. Many “gentlemen’s” club workers, prostitutes, and pornography stars do not willingly engage in their work but are forced there by human trafficking. Likewise, many nannies, hotel and restaurant workers, migrant workers, and workers in the chocolate industry (to name a few) are not provided with proper wages and living conditions but are forced to do their work by someone else who profits from their labor.

Human trafficking is a billion dollar industry. Its influence reaches deep and affects each of us in ways that we may not know. Read today’s article by Christy Amar and listen to how God may be leading you to change your buying habits…especially with chocolate.
