July 30 is the United Nations’ World Day Against Trafficking in Persons
Go to the UN online to read about the day and the Blue Heart Campaign:
As career development professionals, we need to reach out to services in our countries and communities that rescue and restore the lives of survivors. We can help survivors build a sustainable career as one facet of their healing.
One of the UN Advocates for Sustainable Development Goals is Nadia Murad who is a survivor of human trafficking. I recently listened to the Audible version of her book:
As a volunteer for Shared Hope International which works to end sex trafficking especially of children and youths, I have heard and read personal accounts that illustrate a deep depravity in humanity. More than 20% of trafficked people, worldwide, are children (Planet Earth's most precious commodity). Even though I am not the same religion that is at the foundation of Shared Hope International, I support their work as a financial contributor, legislative advocate, and volunteer.
