There is another chapter to Ken Perenyi's

and that is the chapter of how he used his

slavery and, as the FBI closed in on his forging
escapades, found himself an unexpected parent to
a Ghanian child.

Sex trafficking is not something that happens
"over there." Tens of thousands of young girls
are exploited in the sex trade right here in the
U.S. every year.

Hairdresser Michael Angelo normally spends

how to blow dry, give manicures, cut, color and

images.

Why should LGBT people care? All social
issues are LGBT issues, and around 10 percent of
the millions of people who are trafficked are
LGBT. As citizens of the world, we cannot just
care about issues that we think are "ours." If
we are human, then human trafficking is about
all of us.

In many parts of the world, young girls are
lured with promises, or simply carried off to be
sold as sex slaves. Born in poverty, they are
condemned to live a sad and hopeless life. The
cries of these throwaway girls have been largely
ignored until recent years.
Human trafficking and slavery depend on
corruption, which depends on cash. Cutting off
the global flow of money that is essential to
greasing palms of corrupt officials would go a
long way toward ending this barbarity. How to
achieve that is another story.

I suppose it would be a more satisfying story
if Jesus had waved his magic Messiah wand and
intoned some Harry Potter-worthy Latin spell to
fix the system that allowed Bartimaeus not only
to languish there, but actively encouraged him
to stay in his place. But that's not how the
story goes.
When you look into the eyes of someone who's
had all their basic human rights stolen, their
dignity stripped away, treated like an object,
not a human being, how can you turn your back?
How can you not speak out and act?
Accepting the trafficking of women and girls
as a norm coarsens our culture. In a recent
address, our President said, "as a nation, we've
long rejected such cruelty." Yet sadly, with
each purchase of another human, we become that
much more callous to the casual cruelty of
trafficking.
