Last Tuesday I got a call from a guy who had started a NGO based around the issue of human trafficking.  He asked me if I could leave for Mexico the next day and film a few different raids by the mexican police on different illegal underage brothels where they believed human trafficking was taking place.  His organization was working with the mexican government to document how the mexican government is responding to this issue.  I’ve travelled to over 27 different countries, with the majority of those trips being based around some type of aid work and I have never been as impressed with what this organization is doing.  I feel like these days, “raising awareness” is a loaded expression and one that kind of makes my stomach churn.   WIth that being said I cannot speak highly enough of what this organization is doing.  They have set up multiple safe homes around the world to create a safe place for rescued trafficked women, and are involved in an extremely hands on way.  They are really spearheading one of the best efforts in modern day abolition and their work in this area is mind-blowing.  

I definitely recommend checking them out.
