For the second year, people in 28 countries joined a march against modern day slavery…
A21, an international non-profit, organized their second Walk for Freedom. Hundreds of cities joined in the group’s awareness event, raising knowledge about the magnitude of human slavery. Every 30 seconds someone becomes a victim–27 million men, women, and children are enslaved around the world. Some of the participants in the event put tape over their mouths as others linked arms and walked together as a sign of solidarity. According to the United Nations, sexual exploitation is the most common form of trafficking…followed by forced labor.
