The world around us : Joan Groenewald

A5, 65p.

The book covers diverse slavery topics and deals with the knowledge about 21st century slavery. This human trafficking occurs in normal, ordinary families like yours and mine. There are perceptions and assumptions that most people who are traded are poor and unemployed, but there are also stories of well-qualified people – like the social worker – who was almost caught in the trap of human trafficking. There is no difference in colour, gender or age. So, by reading this book you are vicariously familiarised with the lives of, amongst others, Elrie, Beauty, Nanna and Amy. They were all totally vulnerable and had similar experiences that changed their lives significantly.”
