The refugee crisis and the backlash from the general public is of particular interest to me because of my advocacy work. If its this difficult to get the general public to be comfortable having refugees in their midst, imaging the struggle someone who has been rescued from trafficking faces when trying to find their way […]
During the days of Rome when the Circus Maxius existed to occupy the minds of the economically deprived and overpopulated empire of Rome prior to the suppression of the feminine divine in Roman culture, there existed an age called the Pornocracy. I invite you to research the phenomenon on your own; the concept entertains me. […]
Next Monday marks the thirteenth anniversary of my first encounter with human traffickers. There’s really not much point in going into the story behind that run in, except to state unequivocally that the day in question essentially shaped the rest of my life, and is when I began both physical training and researching in earnest.

I recently learned that in the Congo there are intertribal wars being fueled by the need for labour workers to mine for a rare earth mineral used in the creation of cellphones, and that whether or not a girl is wearing a pair of panties there can determine whether or not she is raped or […]

After the Allied victory, Schindler is […]
Today I learned that one of my favourite boutiques in town is going out of business, which is a damned shame; its funky and elegant and the prices are reasonable and everything is more or less luxury fair trade. Apparently she has to close because she is tired, and I can understand that, but I […]
One of the more distressing moral dichotomies I am forced to deal with is the knowledge that the same tools that I use to combat trafficking also were the products of mining and labour practices which contribute to labour trafficking in so-called “less developed” nations. It’s frustrating to know for example that wars are entirely […]
