Welcome to traffickingblog.com
My name is Terry Lee Wright, and I created this site convinced of the necessity to combat slavery.
Today there are thousands of women on our shores, and millions more overseas, who live as slaves. They are real people, flesh and blood and beating hearts. Some are kept slaves by physical barriers, by locked doors and guards and surveillance cameras. Others are held hostage by threats made against them or their family or their friends, by drug dependencies their captors have forced on them, by debt-bondage where the debt is largely or entirely ficticious, or simply by being isolated in a foreign place where they know neither the culture nor the language, where the only person they can understand is their pimp.
This story is not a fiction; it is played out every day. Every day, thousands become slaves for the first time.
