The world around us 21st Century Slavery
Die wereld om ons 21ste Eeuse Mensehandel
by Joan Groenewald
The book covers diverse slavery topics and deals with the knowledge about 21st century slavery. This human trafficking occurs in normal, ordinary families like yours and mine. There are perceptions and assumptions that most people who are traded are poor and unemployed, but there are also stories of well-qualified people – like the social worker – who was almost caught in the trap of human trafficking. There is no difference in colour, gender or age. So, by reading this book you are vicariously familiarised with the lives of, amongst others, Elrie, Beauty, Nanna and Amy. They were all totally vulnerable and had similar experiences that changed their lives significantly.”

Daar is waarnemings en aannames dat die meeste mense arm en werkloos is, maar daar is ook verhale van goed gekwalifiseerde persone, soos van ʼn maatskaplike werker, wat amper in die strik van mensehandel vasgepen is. Daar is geen onderskeid in kleur of ouderdom nie. Dus word u blootgestel aan die lewens van o.a. Elrie, Beauty, Nanna en Amy wat baie kwesbaar was. Hulle het soortgelyke ervarings gehad wat hul lewens ingrypend verander het.

In Order to Live
by Yeonmi Park
A North Korean girl's journey to freedom
'I am most grateful for two things: that I was born in North Korea, and that I escaped from North Korea.' Yeonmi Park was not dreaming of freedom when she escaped from North Korea. She didn't even know what it meant to be free. All she knew was that she was running for her life, that if she and her family stayed behind they would die - from starvation, or disease, or even execution. This book is the story of Park's struggle to survive in the darkest, most repressive country on earth; her harrowing escape through China's underworld of smugglers and human traffickers; and then her escape from China across the Gobi desert to Mongolia, with only the stars to guide her way, and from there to South Korea and at last to freedom; and finally her emergence as a leading human rights activist - all before her 21st birthday.

Unthinkable
by Kris Hollington
To order the book click HERE
The UK was shocked to its core in May 2012 when a gang of nine men was convicted of the systematic sexual abuse of disadvantaged teenage girls in the Rochdale area - the crimes including counts of rape, aiding and abetting rape, sexual assault and trafficking girls within the UK for sexual exploitation. Yet many childcare experts reckon these crimes are just the tip of an iceberg of wide scale exploitation occurring across the country. Award-winning journalist Kris Hollington tells the inside story of some of the most shocking and heartbreaking crimes of recent years, focusing on the Rochdale case but also analysing recent cases in the London area that have echoes of the brutality of organised slavery. His findings expose how the British justice system is failing to protect children in the 21st century. It is a scandal that cannot be ignored.

A Crime So Monstrous
by E Benjamin Skinner
To order the book click HERE
Two hundred years after Parliament passed the Abolition of the Slave Trade Act, over 27 million people worldwide languish in slavery, forced to work, under threat of violence, for no pay. In Africa, hundreds of thousands are considered chattel, while on the Indian subcontinent millions languish in generational debt bondage. Across the globe, women and children, sold for sex and labour, are already the second most lucrative commodity for organised crime.
The personal stories related here are heartbreaking but in the midst of tragedy Skinner also discovered a quiet dignity that leads some to resist and aspire to freedom. He bears witness for them and for the millions that are held in the shadows - all victims of what is the greatest human-rights challenge facing our generation.
