This book really opened my eyes to some things that I don't think about as often as I should. It says that all we have to do is nothing and the bad guys win. It inspires me to be more proactive.
"In Our Backyard invites the reader in to the lives of human trafficking victims, survivors and the traffickers themselves with true stories. These stories not only inform the reader, but also take them quickly through a well-documented crash course about human trafficking--better described as modern-day slavery--in the United States. A quick read which includes study questions for small groups, In Our Backyard could change your life and save lives around you." -- Amazon.com.
In Out Backyard recounts the true stories of trafficking survivors who struggled for their lives during these traumatic experiences. Nita Bells works with trafficking survivors to work through the trauma, and rehabilitate them with jobs and a support system. The book goes into detail on the different types of trafficking and slavery that goes on here in America, how to spot it, get help for survivors, and prevent it from happening in the future. It is brutally honest in it's description of this secret world of traffickers, but for good cause. This is something that should be talked about more often. I personally didn't know how prevalent it is in the United States, and was shocked by finding out. This book also informs you about the various programs available for survivors, and how you can support them, in their fight to end human trafficking. I highly recommend this book.… (meer)
