This video is so powerful that it brought me to tears in the first 15 seconds.
Not only does slavery still exist the world today, but there are MORE slaves now than there has ever been in history. That seems a little hard to believe, I know. 27 MILLION men, women and children are enslaved, and this video was made to bring awareness to a portion of those people who are enslaved in sex trafficking. I was brought aware to this issue in 2012 at the Passion conference in Atlanta. My heart was broken for all of these people and I wanted to make a change in the world. No one deserves to live their life as a slave, they deserve a life just like you and me. Just by spreading awareness, slavery will be stopped and people’s lives will be SAVED.
Do you live in Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Detroit, Las Vegas, San Diego, San Francisco, St. Louis, Tampa, or Washington, DC? Because those cities are the top cities in America where sex trafficking is the worst.
In Europe, there are annually 600,000 to 800,000 men, women and children caught in sex trafficking.
And South East Asia, is the LARGEST exporters of sex slaves to brothels to Japan, China, Australia, Europe, and the United States.
Every minute there are at least 2 children becoming victims of sex trafficking. And the average life span of a child who is a sex slave is TWO YEARS, because they have either been beaten to death, caught an STD or overdosed on the drugs forced upon them.
So, I ask you now to please reblog this. Spread the word. The more people who know, the more chances there are to give these people a life of their own. If you haven’t heard of END IT movement, then I suggest that you look it up or you can click here to look at their website.

Disney has a lot to answer for...
Disney and Pixar may well be regretting their decision to loose Toy Story’s Sheriff Woody on the Japanese figure market, given the sort of figures he ended up rubbing shoulders with, to say nothing of the perverted minds of his many owners…
The original Revoltech Woody figure used in this long-running meme is still available here and there.
Chuck is a shelving system which was created inspired by the idea to create individually flexible room.
VIdeo Here At first glance a simple wooden wall shelf, at closer inspection a shelving system made up of flexible wooden planks that is adapting to the objects it preserves and displays. Chuck consists of six wooden planks with two stainless steel locking collars placed at the ends. Chuck allows to experience intermediate room, to exploit the possibilities of the elements and to design individual room. The planks of wood can be lifted separately in order to display your favorite items. Depending on the quantity when filled, the planks stretch out and the wall shelf takes on a different shape. The result is an intriguing interaction of flexibility and stability, a structure of waves that rise and fall which easily creates room for all of your favourite items. Material: wood, stainless steel.
