Human Rights in the 21st Century

I was pretty shocked to hear, recently, that there is more human trafficking being done now than ever occurred during the days of the.

According to about.com "During the eighteenth century...the slave trade accounted for the transport of a staggering 6 million Africans" in the trans-Atlantic slave trade.

A year ago, Condoleezza Rice stated, "We estimate that up to 800,00 people are trafficked across international borders every year, millions more are trafficked internally."

I am an advocate of human rights education as an entrance point to changing this and other horrendous human rights violations that are going on right now in this "enlightened era" on our planet.

One thing anyone can do to help this is to promote the new human rights PSAs created by Youth for Human Rights International and the Church of Scientology International.

These are up on Youtube and I Tunes - search for "Youth for Human Rights."

If anything will get through to people on the subject of human rights, these ads will.
