Book release: "Slaves Among Us: The Hidden World of Human Trafficking"

"Opinion: slaves Among Us," 11 Nov 2019

It is through the survivors of human trafficking that I started to understand the huge scope and the particularities of the global crime...

People usually fall prey to traffickers when they are at their most vulnerable, often because of poverty...

[I wrote this book] to make the crime easy to understand, to shed light on all aspects of the business, and to give keys to what all of us can do... Many positives things have happened in the last five years... but we are still way too slow at taking significant action... Each of us can play a role as consumers, citizens, and as human beings.
