ABOLISH SLAVERY

Rochel Potter came to teach the Jr. highers to the young adults about slavery and how it still exist today. Today there are more slaves than ever.

Imagine going to New York City every single person you see is in some form of slavery, that is the third largest city in the world. There are more slaves than the whole population of New York City.



Most slaves come from third world countries and don't have money so they try getting a better life for themselves not knowing they will be in a much worse situation then they were originally were. They don't run because they know that the slave owners will hurt or kill their family because they have all their information so there is nothing they can do.

Some people when they are born were made disfigured so they can't escape from their slaves and they are forced to beg. If they don't meet the quota for the day they get beaten this also applies for thousands of little kids, some as young as four years old . Others are forced into into the sex industry or they have to pick fruits and vegetable, they do every type of job.

The break down of people in slavery are 80% of slaves are woman 10% babies 5% men and boys 5% girls

Luckily there is several things we can do... first if we think someone is in slavery we can call the human trafficking hotline 1-888-3737-888. We can also educate ourselves on this. But one of the most important is to pray I now that sounds like whoop dedoo pray, but if there is one thing I know prayer works and we all can do it. With your help we can topple this giant.






Evan out!
