This Week on Subliminal Matters

So I hope you're excited to see what I've been up to while I've been away. I have some fun ads to share but I must say to every single visitor thanks for coming back. SM is about to hit 5,000 visitors and I think that most certainly is a milestone. Thanks for the emails and I even had a few comments while I was away which was pretty cool. Although I haven't been posting I've most certainly been collecting and I am buzzing with excitement to share, hope you enjoy!

The Forgotten - Human Trafficking


EVERY YEAR OVER 1,000 WOMEN AND CHILDREN
ARE VICTIMS OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING BECAUSE
THEY BELIEVED IN FALSE PROMISES
Quote: "Every year over 1,000 women and children are victims of human trafficking because they believed in false promises"

Subliminal Matters: the victims of human trafficking are often too young to defend against their predators.

Location: Maputo, Mozambique


Ad Review: Human trafficking is definitely an issue that often falls under the public radar, BUT, it is a very present issue being felt around the world. 


Recently, I've watched two movies, "I Am Slave" and "Whistleblower", and they've both highlighted the dark realities of this extremely detrimental issue. The first movie depicts a nasty cultural demand for "house help" that directly contributes to human trafficking and the second movie will make you cringe at the implication of UN involvement in human trafficking.  


If you are doubting that this could be happening right under you nose the answer is a google search away. Type in human trafficking cases in your state and see what comes up. Better yet, support those orgs and news agents in your area that are paying attention to the issue.
