I'm glad there are books highlighting the issue (because people are seriously in denial about it) but, especially at the moment, I couldn't handle it. :(Niccihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12122972546470154598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15824987442107017.post-80024395050704169852020-06-20T13:02:45.060-04:002020-06-20T13:02:45.060-04:00I want to get involved with an organization that w...I want to get involved with an organization that works to combat sex trafficking. I was aware it existed, but I didn't know how prominent it was here in the US. I thought it was some distant problem other people were dealing with, and I was wrong. I think more people need to be aware of this issue, and it's something we need to stop from happening.

A president that doesn't care about the country he's running (into the ground), Black Lives Matter protestors trying to be heard over shouts of "All Lives Matter" because people are incapable of understanding the pain of others, Black men and women being murdered simply because of the color of the skin, and their killers not being held accountable for their actions. Then you have Murder Hornets, droughts, locusts destroying crops. LGBTQ+ fighting for their rights, women wanting to be treated equally, PEOPLE wanting to be treated the equally. Drugs, sex trafficking, and a PANDEMIC that is being largely ignored now that stay-at-home orders have been lifted. Climate change, foreign politics... the list goes on and on.<br /><br />This book is heartbreaking, but I also think it's a story people need to hear. We can't make a difference if people aren't even aware of the problem.

Humans being bought and sold for sex (beaten, drugged, and abused) is something more people should be concerned about. Like you said, books like this one need to be out there to bring awareness to issues most people don't concern themselves with. We definitely should be doing more to combat this issue, and prevent it from happening to others. <br />Lindsi https://www.blogger.com/profile/13480991226741687503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15824987442107017.post-47724162873970582562020-06-20T12:51:20.592-04:002020-06-20T12:51:20.592-04:00It was!

Human trafficking is a really big problem in the US (I believe it's only second to drugs), and we should be doing more to prevent it from happening.

It's heartbreaking that it's a real issue and can even happen in the city where we live.

I think books have great power at bringing awareness to things like this that we know about but are often indifferent to. 2020 has been a year of facing many problems head on, so this is absolutely something we could be doing more about.
