WOW. That never even occurred to me. I have a strong interest in modern day slavery- the trafficking of women and children specifically.

The best book I read about traffiking is Selling Olga by Louisa Waugh. (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Selling-Olga-Stories-Trafficking-Resistance/dp/0297850709) It concentrates on the UK/european traffiking/slave trade but i think it probably aplies more or less every where

It brings up a whole bunch of stuff that I would never have thought
It is a really sad hard heavy read because of what it talks about but I think its really important
