Something we should stop

About 21 million people are enslaved today and it will continue to grow if nobody tries to stop it.

About 26% of slaves are children and are pushed until they can’t even walk but they still work them and it 's a cruel thing to do to kids that haven 't seen their own parents in a long time. 22% of slaves are sex slaves and are sold into prostitution and this should make you mad at this generation because look at what this generation has caused. 78% of slaves are labor slaves, they have to farm, fish, and wash dishes, if slavery doesn 't get you mad I don 't know what will because it 's grown bigger in our generation and we haven 't done anything about it we just stand around watching news about it and liking photos about it on instagram or watching stories about it on snapchat, but what we should do is stand up
