We’ve been writing a lot about trafficking in the US and in Ohio lately.  If you want to read another perspective, read this interview with the author of the new book The Slave Across the Street, Theresa Flores.  Theresa is an activist and is also a Director for Gracehaven House in Ohio, one of the few shelters for survivors in America.

    The Dayton Human Trafficking Accords

    WHEREAS,

    WE can end human trafficking and slavery, but only if we solemnly commit ourselves to that common purpose.

    We must confront the global scourge of trafficking and slavery beginning in our own local communities.

    We as individuals and all institutions of society have a moral responsibility to end trafficking and free slaves from their captivity.

    NOW THEREFORE,

    WE undertake a solemn commitment, beginning now, to end the scourge of trafficking and slavery

    And to take immediate action in our communities to

    Stir society’s conscience to action against trafficking and slavery

    Rescue and restore victims of trafficking and slavery

    Identify and punish traffickers and slavers

    Promote legislation and public policies to eradicate trafficking and slavery

    Address the social, cultural and economic causes of trafficking and slavery

    So that

    We will end human trafficking in our time.
