Not the most pleasant lenten challenge but it is important to educate ourselves about how we hurt one another.
The thing about it is this, as much as I read and as many images I have looked at there is one thing jumping out at me. The sanitization of this reporting. It is all so politically correct. Case and point for me is why are we calling it human trafficking? Is that like a traffic violation? Or the shipping of banned substances like cocaine? A little unsightly, but otherwise okay?
When did we stop calling slavery, slavery and instead sanitized it for the 6:00pm news? I am not sure, but I think if we want to put a stop to this, then we ought to call it what it is. Slavery.
Maybe if we do, it will cause people to choke on the bile it produces and be more active in finally eradicating slavery once and for all.
