Believe it or not, I have around 42 slaves work for me in a daily basis... and you might have more of them working for you, or you might have less. Let's be honest, one is indeed too many.

信不信由你，我每天有大约42名奴隶为我工作......你可能会有更多的奴隶为你工作，或者你可能有更少的奴隶。说实话，一名已经是太多了。

I was looking at Facebook this morning and I saw a friend of ours posted a post about slavery and got me do something about it on this subject. Here is her post...

我今天早上在看Facebook，看到我们的一个朋友发表了一篇关于现今奴隶的文章，让我觉得在这事情上做了一些工作。这是她的帖子...

"What is the value of a human being?
Education level? Social status? A camel? A bottle of beer? R50 for a new slave?
It’s so sick to put a price tag on human life.
There are 21 million enslaved worldwide, we cannot turn a blind eye to the fact."

“一个人的价值是什么？
教育程度？社会地位？一头骆驼？一瓶啤酒？ R50为一个新的奴隶？
为人类注入价格是很不舒服的。
全世界有二千一百万人被奴役，我们不能视而不见。“

True, believe it or not, according to the International Labour Foundation, there are roughly 21 to 45 million (yes, I mean million with an M) slaves around the world today, that is more than the population of the whole country of Argentina! When there is demand, there will forever be supply. Yes - We need to talk more about it, so that we can do something about it. First of all, we need to know what is slavery? According to International Justice Missions ("IJM"), "Slavery is the use of lies or violence to force another person to work for little or no pay and children as young as 4 years old are being violently exploited as slaves." Below you will see a couple pictures and stats published from varies anti-human trafficking organizations... We need to be aware and be awaken that there is a problem before we can ask ourselves the question "How can I be part of the solution today?" Sad stats, but I hope that can shed you some light.

根据国际劳工基金会的说法，不管你信不信，今天世界上大约有二千万到四千五百万（是的，我的意思是百万，有一个M）奴隶，这比全国的阿根廷人口要多！有需求的时候，永远就有供应。是的 - 我们需要多谈一些，以便我们可以做点事情。首先，我们需要知道什么是奴隶制？根据国际正义团（“IJM”）的说法，“奴隶制是利用谎言或暴力来迫使另一个人工作得很少或者没有工资，年仅4岁的儿童被剧烈地剥削为奴隶”。下面你会看到一些从不同的反贩卖人口组织发布的图片和统计数据...我们需要意识到，并觉醒，有一个问题之前，我们可以问自己一个问题：“我今天如何成为解决方案的一部分？”悲伤的统计，但我希望能给你一些亮光。

As a community, we CAN do something about it, even though the problem is too big. However, if we can do something about it in daily basis, at least we won't see that number climb up again, if not significantly reduce it. Want to know how many slaves work for you in a daily basis? You can do this test on this website, www.slaveryfootprint.org - There are also immediate actions you can take.

作为一个群体，我们可以做些什么，即使这个问题确实地大。但是，如果我们能在日常工作中做到我们的小部分，至少我们不会再看到这个数字再次攀升，如果不能大幅度降低的话。想知道每天有多少奴隶为你工作？你可以在这个网站上做这个测试，www.slaveryfootprint.org
