Humans... and we call ourselves intelligent... Most disgusting species on earth. My heart goes out to the people subjected to this experience.

It happens around the globe where people are trying to escape war,conflict zones and poverty itself.

[@munafghori4052]

If it brings 150 billions then it cannot be illegal. Politicians will do it.

[@adam7565]

True

[@Mortis33-o4b]

Exactly ❤that’s why these countries won’t improve…so much entrenched corruption

[@brittlefocus9500]

Politicians at every level absolutely condone the problems that need a business like human trafficking to thrive; especially, in places like California. Organizations like the National Guard are utterly useless and receive funding still. How is extreme poverty in towns throughout America not a national security issue wherefore different forms of aid could have been brought in as a preemptive measure to ward off the obvious culprits of the crimes related to human trafficking?

*Dalai Lama* ✍️🌿 I have been deeply saddened by the conflict in Ukraine. _Our world has become so interdependent that violent conflict between two countries inevitably impacts the rest of the world. War is out-dated - non-violence is the only way. We need to develop a sense of the oneness of humanity by considering other human beings as brothers and sisters. This is how we will build a more peaceful world._ Problems and disagreements are best resolved through dialogue. Genuine peace comes about through mutual understanding and respect for each other’s wellbeing. We must not lose hope. The 20th century was a century of war and bloodshed. The 21st century must be a century of dialogue. I pray that peace is swiftly restored ​in Ukraine. ─ His Holiness *Dalai Lama* ✍️🌿 {28 February 2022}

“Samar….had contacted a smuggler in Lebanon.” Things you shouldn’t do.

[@coyharlingen]

Most of the time, people escaping war won't know who they're speaking to or what situation they are getting themselves into. If there were a legal and safe way for people to escape war, then they won't have to contact smugglers, would they?

[@Desire123ification]

What's being done about that? Last time I checked, slavery was in the history books, or was it? Sad!

This what happens when you call women to devalue marriage and live their lives independently without men taking care of them, May Allah protect all women and children

[@niazinaser7948]

@Blinding Light Exploiting women at any age is bad and condemned by religion, keep your ignorance to yourself, and for little girls they are protected by their fathers and brothers

[@DaveKraft1]

No -- This is what happens when MEN do this to women, women are subjects or secondary, and Allah and his representatives do not enact appropriate consequences on those men doing the abuse.

[@niazinaser7948]

@@DaveKraft1Women abuse men as well, being a bad person is gender independent, so anyone who abuse other fellow human being should be brought to justice. This life is unjust but Allah is Just, He Almighty sees and hears so those who do bad deeds never escape from Him and they will see a consequence of their evil actions sooner or on the day of judgment the day of justice

*Dalai Lama* _✍️🌿_ _Human society exists because it is impossible to live in complete isolation. We are interdependent by nature, and since we must live together, we should do so with a positive attitude of concern for one another. The aim of society must be the compassionate betterment of all, not just humans, but all beings living on this planet. When we gain more appreciation both for the kindness intentionally bestowed on us by others and for the unintended kindnesses reflected in the goods and services we depend on daily, we will contribute to a healthier society._ ─ His Holiness *Dalai Lama* _✍️🌿_
