Each of us must expand our awareness and invest our effort, not just for its self, family, or nation but also for the benefit of all mankind. "&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Admirable work. Yes, it is about the economy and power. I am a former intellectual bonded slave from one of the largest organized crime network that profit from 200 industries in USA and 500 in Asia, of which one is modern day slavery, bonded slavery or what people refer to as human trafficking. The organization that possessed me was profiting 3.5 billion USD annually minimum JUST IN SLAVERY. The total profit annual from 500 industries is a figure that not even a CIA, IRS agent can pin down. Yes, it is in the trillions and passing through bank accounts of those that have diplomatic immunity. I was enslaved through a family debt of 11 million USD at a young age like many of us and became the favored toy to the figure of the organization who is in public view considered a conservative socially reputable corporate executive, a survivor of the WWII who did not want to admit that his friends had died in vein just to see that his people had lost the war.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The longest war on the surface on this planet began thousands of years ago and it covers every continent including your own back yard and in the kitchen of your favorite restaurant, the name of the war is called modern day slavery, bonded slavery or human trafficking. Any society selling people or their organ is strictly dysfunctional. We need to teach our children that humanity is one. A child born in your family is no less valuable than a child born in another place. Also teach them how precious a life is. I always say, "The weight of one life is heavier than the planet." I have sat next to law enforcements talk while having their 5AM breakfast in a café say, "Oh, yah, the one that we found dead today was just a hoe."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bonded Slavery covers a wide range of violation to human rights and consists of diverse victims including HT. Prostitution is a small part of the bonded slavery. Legalization of prostitution will not decrease in large figures of the total number of bonded slavery victims. I must say Siddharth is a little naïve in this view. I would like you to keep your eyes open to the larger picture. For example, did the Governor of NY, who was accused of being a part of the prostitution ring really participating just out of personal benefit or did he owe money to an organization or two? Was he black mailed into the ring from a piece of information he needed to hide with his life? Bonded slavery extends to intellectual populous that are forced to work in management, local networking and bribing. Those that invest in bonded slaves and/or human trafficking do not consider it their major source of profit and have profound power over legislation, foreign affairs, authorities and market manipulators.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There is a misconception that bonded Slavery victims are mostly young women and boys. A lot of them are matured men. Hungary supplies a large number of young boys to Romania every day and  if you follow their paths you will see that they are forced into intellectual involuntary servitude. What are currently found in bonded slavery are the following;&lt;br&gt;   1. Child prostitution&lt;br&gt;   2. Child hard labor&lt;br&gt;   3. Child organ supply&lt;br&gt;   4. Adult prostitution&lt;br&gt;   5. Adult hard labor – eg. Tuna fishing, crab vessels&lt;br&gt;   6. Adult organ supply&lt;br&gt;   7. Transportation of illegal items&lt;br&gt;   8. Transportation of stolen items as diamond, bonds&lt;br&gt;   9. Transportation of other slaves&lt;br&gt;  10. Training of slaves, supervising slaves&lt;br&gt;  11. Money laundering&lt;br&gt;  12. Industry spying&lt;br&gt;  13. Corporate spying&lt;br&gt;  14. Diplomatic spying&lt;br&gt;  15. Market research&lt;br&gt;  16. Investment&lt;br&gt;  17. Negotiation&lt;br&gt;  18. Language services&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Legalizing prostitution will solve No. 1 and No. 4. So, what are we to do with the rest?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bonded Slaves over lap HT but their total amount of bonded debt can be as high as a few million dollars and often what happens is that they have to work on behalf of the organization in many intellectual ways. In the organization I was enslaved in, we had a ratio to 2:1, where there are more males than females. The slave masters pay them to get educated, travel to act on their behalf. Employing authorities into a corporation with luxury corporate accounts that encourage further bribery is also a part of what bonded slaves are forced to do.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What encourages modern day slavery and bonded slavery;&lt;br&gt;1. Not enough women in leadership roles of each and every country. Women do not have a voice.&lt;br&gt;2. Strong USD against other currencies&lt;br&gt;3. US Labor Union is over powering&lt;br&gt;4. WTO and IMF make it almost impossible for the money borrowing countries to pay back&lt;br&gt;5. Exporting commodities to USA and UK does not generate profit&lt;br&gt;6. DOHA Negotiation Table never came to an agreement&lt;br&gt;7. Not enough organ donors within slave importing countries&lt;br&gt;8. FBI and CIA lack information and effort in learning how the international organized crime networks use their money. They own your hotels and major service providers.&lt;br&gt;9. The Mr. Shrub in the White Hut and his father were receiving benefits from the organized crime networks.&lt;br&gt;10. Local law enforcements receive benefits from the criminals and also from Federal. They do not want to help.&lt;br&gt;11. Non-profits that are supposed to be helping bonded slavery victims do not.&lt;br&gt;12. We cannot find and identify bonded slavery victims because they are hiding and currently, they are not willing to come forward because the T and U visa does not secure their own life nor their family members' lives. They cannot travel outside the country three years after the T or U visa.&lt;br&gt;13. There are not enough services and agents available for them to fall back on once they do decide to come out. Some of them do a U-turn and go back to slavery.&lt;br&gt;14. Law enforcements treat the victims as criminals or mentally ill. I have seen USA officers handcuff the victims or send them to mental health institutions and forced them to a 72 hours hold. Supposedly, the most sophisticated country in the world, USA, police officers display lack of compassion and integrity. They do not wish to deal with the matter so they try to categorize them into mentally ill. Some officers in USA do not even know the terminologies as modern day slavery, bonded slavery or human trafficking.&lt;br&gt;15. Punishment to abusing party is lighter than drug trafficking&lt;br&gt;16. Not enough people care until they find out that a child in the same classmate as their own child was a victim.&lt;br&gt;17. Corporate ethics are still primitive. Entertaining potential contract or client is still often done through providing escorts that are flown in as a form of gift.&lt;br&gt;18. The largest factor of them all is lack on awareness. Consumer awareness should be an obligated lecture in every educational institution of age 17 and up. Whether be on the selling side, brokerage or consumers, ignorance prevail.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There are many reasons to why bonded slavery increases. Legalization of prostitution will help a small segment of bonded slavery. You will need a large group of under ground scoop work to trace where the money is entering politics to end this. It is all about money. It takes a global economist to end slavery and I am asking you to become one too! Fight the practice of negativity with love, tangible help, help others get to school, health care, contribute to the global activism, study foreign languages, watch your local police officers, teach your children well of the value of life, become a corporate executive and raise the mentality on business  ethics, don't think, don't wait, don't hesitate, don't chat about it, don't write about it, DO IT!! Do, do, do!!!!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yuki Togawa&lt;br&gt;Senior VAWA &amp;amp; Immigration Advocate&lt;br&gt;On Site Rescue Specialist&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/ext/share.php?sid=146338695060&amp;amp;h=kxtOi&amp;amp;u=cB8Pa&amp;amp;ref=mf" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://www.facebook.com/ext/share.php?sid=146338695060&amp;amp;h=kxtOi&amp;amp;u=cB8Pa&amp;amp;ref=mf"&gt;http://www.facebook.com/ext...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1ZlLd1fnxU" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1ZlLd1fnxU"&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watc...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;Assisting Robert Kent, 4th Dan black belt Aikidoka,  Founder and Director of PeaceCamp Inititive&lt;br&gt;Supporting Budo of Peace&lt;br&gt;Supporting Aiki Extension&lt;br&gt;Supporting Myanmar Aikido&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">YukiTogawa</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Mar 2009 11:27:51 -0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
