Human trafficking - 21st century slavery: Faridoun Hemani at TEDx SugarLand

[@mekumekum]

He gave a talk in my school here in Kenya this week. Mister Hemani is a profound man telling a profound message. I truly hope we all open our eyes and see what we've been blinded from by all the noise of the superficiality around us.

[@nimukarago999]

We need more people like him in this world, people with a vision, people who are willing to go that extra mile to make a difference! It's crazy how oblivious we are to the atrocious things constantly going on! He is such an inspiration! Thank You Mr Hemani!

When i was just 15 and i went to Philippines with my parents for a holiday. We were staying in a foreign hotspot area and I went to a convenience store and a middle aged man walked up to me with his two young girls (around aged 9) and offered to sell them for sex to me for a mere few dollars. This disgusted me and the memory has been stuck in my mind all my life.. The more i learn a bout human trafficking the more i think back to this moment and sometimes cry.

+Andre Stevens shocking! where in the Phillipines?

[@knutz7]

27 million is 3 million more than the entire population of Australia. That’s just incredible... What horrible people there are in this world.

[@amreenayub7125]

This is great! Thank you for a good attempt at enlightening people. :)

[@faeeza11]

wow Faridoun, such a powerful important message to be heard...good luck with the new series..so disheartening to know this is going on around the world...so much suffering.....your work has a role to play to bring this to light and harness action where change can happen.

How this happens blows my mind. The reason this continues to happen is because of the the individuals surrounding us, family members, friends, aquaintences. The fact that sex trafficking is the 1st most popular underground market, and that drugs follow make me believe there is a correlation. In todays world, so many people have pain, so many people are isolated and don't know about healthy relationships and don't have a clue about respect so they numb themselves. As someone who dealt with abuse as a child, it pains me so much to hear these stories and disgusts me that people who participate in selling these babies have no empathy or apathy! No values!

[@kristenwaterton4087]

Sarah Rordam please also realize this is mostly a spiritual problem these tragic people are an organized religion. That religion is Satanism

[@doombuggy123]

Kristen Waterton What? Did you miss the part where people with positions in major religions were luring in and trafficking children? Or does that all somehow. Circle back to Satanism too?

[@dspoyld1]

The worst part is the fact that we aren't addressing the mentality that has allowed this to flourish. Why is this ok

[@1josephzingg]

People who are warning people of this are my new heroes in my life.

[@earthjaunt444]

For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.

[@Spider_7_7]

Very sad fate for MANY people in the world.

[@yantimohhan867]

I don't remember what TV channel, maybe 20/20 or something else. I watched about human trafficking forced the children in Africa to catch the fish in ocean using hand and swimming to catch the fish from afternoon till in morning. That is 12 hours in Cold water. And the fish they caught they export to another country by human traffickers and rich people eat it. I was cry so hard when i watch that investigation on TV. Feel it if that happened your children. Than you for many television to open up or investigation all that stuff against humanity.

PLEASE, DON'T STOP TELLING THIS TRUTH & SHOWING OTHERS HOW TO BE A TRUTH TELLER!!!♡ ALL MY LOVE AND GRATITUDE TO YOU♡ THE TRUTH TELLER!!!♡ THANK YOU!!!♡ THANK YOU!!!♡ THANK YOU!!!♡

[@kristinatidwell6563]

This is an international issue, we need to get addressed at the UN level. Unfortunately most of the countries condone this treatment. 😡

[@alohaglo2]

Men are the ones who are abusing them. If they helped them instead and reported to the police they might be saved!!

[@chastitymarks2185]

And the women turn their heads and pretend that they don't see, don't hear, don't know.

Another related and important thing everyone can do to make a difference is oppose Technocracy, because what is coming down the pike in that respect is slavery for everyone.

[@Starry_Night_Sky7455]

More reasons why I am an antinatalist.

[@aikishugyo]

It is such a despicable thing to deceive others knowingly. That people have been indoctrinated to remain naive is a sad thing. "If you cannot trust a priest, whom can you trust?" LOL. As the speaker makes clear, the luring phase is so damned easy when it is done from a position of trust (authority, family, friends). We all need to become aware not only for our children's safety, but also to pick up on this in our neighbourhood more easily and begin to do something about it.

[@contrafax]

1) There are no statistics. Slave owners do not register their "property." 2) I am not denying that this is a HUGE problem, just don't present made up numbers as facts.

[@janetbates2511]

People do report people missing.

[@crayolamanic1381]

@@janetbates2511 A disproportionate number of the victims in the US are foster care kids, minors who are runaways, homeless, the "desirable" victim is disenfranchised and without a support system. No home, no family - no oversight. Some people are reported missing. They are the luckiest ones, but still most are simply invisible, poor, unknown.
