When you think about slavey what is the first thing that comes to mind? Because when I think about it my first reaction is African Americans working on plantations before the civil war. What many people have failed to realize is that not only is slavery still an issue all over the world but in America as well. Maybe not so commonly for work related reasons but a big corrupt business in we still have today is Sex trafficking. Little do we know is that in the hotel and travel industries we are dealing every day with a huge human trafficking problem.
On February 13th a 10 year old girl was reduced from sex trafficking by a nonprofit organization called 180 Degrees. This is just the most recently recorded account of it. The International Labour Organization estimates there to be about 21 million victims of of human trafficking, forced into labor and sex.
Tammy Lee Stanoch is Vice President of cooperate affairs at Carlson family foundation which is a nonprofit organization. The mission of this organization is to care for the worlds street children and to protect them for abuse and exploitation. Tammy is one of the worlds leading business executives and is also a mother and has made herself an advocate for 21 million enslaved children world wide. Through her business and motherly intuition Tammy works every day to speak out against and raise awareness for human trafficking. Not many people realize how apparent of an issue this still is today all over the world.
