In the Shadows of the World Cup

I have been reading and hearing a lot about sex trafficking lately. Just the other day I read this upsetting article in TIME Magazine about the boom in South African sex trafficking thanks to the World Cup.

When I learn about something upsetting, my inclination is to find someone who is doing something about it, and learn how I can help - or at least learn more about the problem from them.

When I read the article "Baghdad's Underground Railroad" in the Utne Reader (while waiting in line at the very awesome San Francisco Rainbow Grocery) I learned of a larger problem - what do these women do, once they escape from their captors?

Then today, thanks to envisionGood on Facebook, I learned about 3 former roommates Anthony, Liem and Chad and their org, The Blind Project.



Check out this video to learn more about what the org does:



And then learn what YOU can do.
