Shine a Light on Slavery

Today is Shine a Light on Slavery. Individuals and organizations around the world raise their voices against slavery. Slavery continues to exist in 167 countries including Canada. Slavery has many forms and names, but it’s still slavery, and it’s still wrong. Can you imagine being forced to work without pay, trapped, unable to walk away, subject to violence or the threat of violence, by another person as they control you? Own you? Isolated, yet hidden in plain sight. This is reality for those trapped in slavery today. Slavery is illegal in every single country in the world. Yet it still exists. To raise your voice today draw a red X on your hand and post a picture on social media with #EndItMovement #EndSlavery.
