Assignment #6 – Modern Slavery Step 1: Watch – “Slavery Today” online

Inhuman Traffic: An MTV EXIT Special hosted by Angelina Jolie from MTV EXIT on Vimeo.

Presented by Angelina Jolie, this program is a fast-moving and compelling documentary that provides an introduction to the human rights tragedy of trafficking of women and girls for sexual exploitation in Europe. Featuring Anna, a woman from Romania, who was trafficked by her neighbor to the Balkans where she was forced to be a prostitute for 2.5 years; and Tatiana, a victim who spent 6 months as a sex slave in Amsterdam after being sold by her boyfriend. Their harrowing stories are told alongside other characters in the trafficking chain, including a potential victim, a young man who pays for sex, an anti-trafficking police officer, and prevention and assistance organizations. Inhuman Traffic gives an insight into the trafficking chain and how to help break that chain. The show was produced in 2005.

Step 3: Complete the Discussion BoardDiscussion Prompt: There are currently about 30 million slaves in the world today. Some estimates range as high as 150 million or more. How many of you knew this? Anyone? Most people do not. Those who do generally believe it is a problem in third world countries, but certainly not here. The reality is that it is just as big of a problem in the United States as any other country. If we knew where to go, we could go buy a slave in Fort Worth or Dallas today. And we could get one by trading in an old bicycle or an old laptop computer. That’s all it would take. And old bicycle…that’s all a slave’s life is worth today. And perhaps the most disturbing thing to realize is that everything we touch today–from the bricks that make up the exterior of our homes, to the wood in our furniture, to the rug on the floors–has been touched by the hand of a slave. And what’s worse, a slave that is treated even more poorly today than those under the old system of slavery we have been discussing and so horrified by. Please watch this brief video on slavery today from the website, Free the Slaves–an organization devoted to ending the slave trade today. What are the differences between the old and new systems of slavery? What are your other thoughts about this ongoing problem?
