Happy Independence Day! :-) (To all those celebrating, and to all those fortunate enough to be independent and free)

We hope that everyone in the U.S. who is celebrating is having a wonderful day! That said, today we also are thinking of the many millions of people globally who are enslaved, especially vulnerable women and children in the sex trade, and we hope that you will not forget about them. We hope that you’ll do everything that you can from here on out to help them become free and independent also —
