Photographing Modern Day Slavery
Aug 17, 2012 | Waking Times
Photographer Lisa Kristine has been travelling the world for the last
2 years documenting the problem of modern day slavery. Some 27 million
people are thought to be enslaved worldwide even though human slavery
is illegal. From backbreaking labor in brick factories and underground
mines, to sex slavery, to textile mills and farms, Lisa tells the story
of the people featured in her heart-braking photographs.
In a world where the items being produced have far more value than
the people producing them, and women and children are terribly
objectified, slavery is sadly a persistent horror that requires
worldwide attention. Please watch this TedX presentation and support the work of FreeTheSlaves.net.
