Ways to help: Making a difference
The most valuable weapon in the fight against human trafficking may be you.
CNN is celebrating the work of ordinary people inspired to do something, to take action; to stand up against slavery.
People from West Africa, South America, Eastern Europe and Southeast Asia, have all joined the fight.
Watch the "Taking a Stand, Making a Difference" show here in three parts. In the first segment, viewers horrified by our expose of working conditions for people cocoa farming in West Africa campaign for more Fair Trade products.
Natalie, in Romania, was moved to stop eating chocolate until Fair Trade cocoa is on sale in local shops. Gerry, in New Zealand, tried to make a regionally-inspired dish using only Fair Trade products.
Meanwhile, young Christians at a U.S. convention built a statue symbolizing the extent of slavery, raised $3 million for related charities - and got the attention of President Barack Obama.
From the quirky to online campaigns to school projects, their stories also offer practical ideas and information to others who want to get involved in helping the victims of modern-day slavery.
In part two, the idea that people are not for sale is spreading across Ukraine, and one South Korean school is now campaigning to abolish the modern-day scourge.
In part three, one woman beat her fashion bug to help women rescued from human trafficking.
Amy Seiffert wore the same dress for six months and donated the money she would have spent on clothes to a local organization building a shelter for rescued women in Ohio.
She says it was a small thing that reinforced the message that her ability to choose is privilege denied to many.
Along the way she inspired others, and the Daughter Project’s shelter is now a reality.

Nice job。GOD BLESS
Stop "informing" the world how to help our neighbors. Those that do are usually the ones causing genocide in the background unnoticed.
I'm telling you now – my humble family that gave did so out of compassion from the heart. They gave wisely, never depleting their funds, and expected those that were able to return what they borrowed must do so.
I believe that most people do this.
So, we do not require instruction from the media to force young people who read this article to forego chocolate, cigarettes, or anything unless they are minors under the care of their parents who have that authority only.
Stop dictating your ridiculous political agendas and swaying the minds of our young.
Let parents rule.
Let nations care for themselves.
Keep your nose at home and fix that before you go about the world telling anyone else what to do. Because if I go back there and find out you haven't done such a good job with that...I will not listen to anything you have to say.
I raised two fine sons that did well. I raised my family well.
I have a right to tell you to back off.
Speak for yourself.
I.... I have to ask. Who are you talking to?
question how to break "ego fossile' of few
to share in earth of 7 billions human being health wealth
by united spirit of humans for new concept new era of energy
"spirituality starts where religions end"
let's start around the world daily meditation
within own heart are inner silent solutions.
wake up the world from illusion...
Let me see here, “viewers horrified by our expose of working conditions for people cocoa farming in West Africa campaign for more Fair Trade products”. They should be horrified at the way the Africans are doing their own people. But all I get out of this is how bad the chocolate companies are. It’s not the African governments, the coco farmers are their own parents that are doing this to them, it’s the western companies like Hershey that are doing it to them. Thanks for the uneven reporting on this. I think that CNN can do better than that. Stop blaming the chocolate companies and start pointing the finger at the real problem, the Africans themselves. Africa exported slavery thousands of years ago and are still engaged with it to this day. Africa has been profiting from slavery for thousands of years and they are not going to give it up easily. So CNN takes the easy road and attacks the chocolate companies and leaves the real bad guys alone. Thanks CNN for a great job of screwing it up again.
Mac, I hear you. I worked in Ghana and came across young girls who were sold by their parents to pimps who then flew with them to SA to be sold again, for a much higher fee than what their parents were paid. In Madagascar its the same story. Basically what that told me was that its okay if slavery is practised on black people by black people its when another race trades in slaves that its so horribly wrong. If you are not willing to kill the rat, expect it to eat you.
Spot on, Amen,,,,,,,,

CNN I lost my job due to afro action when will you help the whiteman?
CNN will do that when pigs learn to fly! I am sorry, our Leader (Obama) can't fly, he has to have someone else do it for him. So lets say CNN will do that after the cow jumps over the moon then!

So let me reword that: Thank you for the treat! But yeah Thnkx for taking the time to talk about this, I feel strongly concerning it as well as love learning further on this topic. If possible, as you gain expertise, would you mind updating your weblog with further details? It is highly helpful for me. Big thumb up for this site!

There are actually quite a lot of parlicutars comparable that to take into consideration. That may be a big point to carry up. I provide the ideas above as general inspiration but clearly there are questions simply comparable the single you bring up the place an significant factor will likely be working in honest superior faith. I don?t understand if greatest practices have emerged round concerns similar to that, however I’m sure that your job is clearly recognized as a fair game. Anyhow, in my language, there aren’t a lot superior supply resembling this.

Slavery is the only salvation to todays economic troubles. Why would you want to fight it?
The only way to compete with China that pays their people about $1 an hour is to pay $0 an hour.
I truly hope your comment is simply sarcasm.
I write to ask, once again, if Ms. Demi Moore, who was such a good AMbassadress for the CNN to return to do what she is really good at; forget the past, you have more important things to do in your life, Ms. Moore.

GiedreStankeviciute on April 5, 2010 How did you get it unfrozen? Please let me know! Mine is frzoen at 316 but i have over 3000 real views (I printed the insight report). Please, let me know!
cool story bro
Finally good news!
I have been hooked on reading articles and books on this subject and this article i must admit gave a little bit of light to the end of the tunnel. One can fall into a depression like state of "what can i do?"
However, its articles like these that help us see that every little thing helps. It is much worse being apathetic or simply using positive articles like these to promote ones political views on why the world is going to explode.
I for one believe in hope, love and faith.
Keep up the great work!
