There are an estimated 27 million slaves in the world today, an estimated 15,000-18,000 of whom are trafficked into the U. S. annually. The majority of victims are women and girls who are forced to work as domestics, in the garment district and agricultural industries or as sex slaves, among others. Non-profit agencies, law enforcement, communities of faith and the government have begun to address this horrific problem. Their efforts have been supported through the landmark Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000. Please write the producers of feminine hygiene products asking them to include the national 24 hour hotline number 1-888-373-7888 in all their product packages.
