About

This is the official blog of Free the Slaves. You can find updates on our activities, reports of slavery in the news, and information on interesting developments in the anti-slavery movement. It is our hope that this blog will offer a snapshot of how slavery exists in communities around the world—and what is being done to eradicate it.

Free the Slaves liberates slaves around the world and helps survivors of slavery rebuild their lives. We research real world solutions to eradicate slavery forever, and fight the systems that allow slavery to exist in the first place. We use world class research and compelling stories from the frontlines of slavery to convince the powerful and the powerless that we can end slavery. Free the Slaves is a not for profit organization made up of people who don’t want to live in a world with slavery. And they’re willing to do something about it.

We don’t waste time debating which kind of slavery is worse—brick kilns or carpet looms, sex or domestic, new or old—it’s all horrible. Slavery is a dark slash across the heart of all humanity. We believe there are no easy answers to eradicating slavery. But there are answers from the people who are enslaved and those helping them to freedom. There is no single path to liberation—the paths are many—we will tread them all before our job is done.

    Human Trafficking within the North Korean borders as well as in China is on the increase. China actually needs North Korea than vis- a versa. Since the two child policy in China and that women should have boys and not girls, many men are crossing over the border to North Korea and are exploiting women into marriage. These women who then bare children are not only classed as stateless but also have no right to education or healthcare. More campaigns are needed to make people aware of the true situation within North Korea.

    North Koreans who are repatriated back to North Korea from China are then either beaten, tortured or even executed.

    Please assist in making peopl more aware of this.

    I hope someone reads this suggestion.  There has to be a documentary made about the situation and  FTS’s work to change this world of suffering.  It needs to be distributed in the same manner as RACE TO NOWHERE.  Communities, high schools show screenings after paying a fee and making it a fundraiser for their school but with this documentary, as a way to raise funds for FTS.  This is the most viable way to raise awareness in all our communities.  Please, please utilize your connections because we cannot allow this to go unseen by those we can reach- the young teens must be aware of this as they can lead the way to continuous change.
