The recent discovery of forced labor in a Chinese brick kiln is unfortunately just the tip of the iceberg. The most recent US State Dept Trafficking in Person Report cited statistics from the International Labor Organization that "estimates there are 12.3 million people in forced labor, bonded labor, forced child labor, and sexual servitude."
One organization that seems to be taking an effective approach in addressing the issue is Shared Hope International. I ordered a DVD and maybe can have some people over to investigate more when that arrives. There's got to be something we can do.
