New Blog

by mkanderson on Mar 12, 2008

After a lot of soul-searching and trying to figure out what to do with certain stories, I decided that I would create a new blog specifically for Human Trafficking. Human Trafficking Watch is focused on human trafficking without all of the fat of this scatter-shot blog. The idea is that I want to do my part to raise awareness of human trafficking. In addition, I think there is a lot of liberal politics as well as liberal activists hurting any meaningful understanding of human trafficking (think Cynthia McKinny). It's unfortunate because this is a huge, worldwide problem. One of the largest populations excusing this behavior is made up of mostly Muslims. However, I have seen so many people trying very hard to justify Islamic misogyny, honor killings, child abuse, and general oppression that Islam has become that proverbial elephant in the room. Human value is based on culture, which drives the process of having modern laws and strong law enforcement. So I don't want to whitewash many of the contributing factors that assist human trafficking in remaining a problem.

There are many sites regarding human trafficking already, but I will have opinion and I have also started seeking out co-writers for that blog.

Please bookmark the site and visit there often for discussion related to human trafficking: www.humantraffickingwatch.com
