Two More Sad Trafficking Stories (TED.com video and news story)

So we decided to watch that TED.com video in Class 6. As I mentioned, I was unsure about whether to share it or not, as it is very graphic and heart-wrenching. In the end, I was convinced that you are mature enough to handle it, and it does give a glimpse into the real dangers some trafficking victims face. 


I've re-posted it here below, just in case any students from Class 3 are interested in seeing it, or if anyone from Class 6 wants to see it again.


Do be warned, though, it does contain some very graphic images and descriptions, so only watch it if you're sure you can handle it and are interested in learning more about the horrible practice of human trafficking. 


The video and the news story below are NOT required for the class, they're here only for your further interest in the topic.


First, here's the TED.com video:

Second, here's the news story:
I stumbled on this story today. I thought I would post it in case anyone is interested in reading it. It is closely related to our most recent topic, human trafficking. 


As I mentioned to some of you, human trafficking is the world issue that depresses me the most, and this story is a good example of why the topic has this effect on me.
