What does trafficking look like? Where does it happen?

4.
From www.antislavery.org <ul><li>India - Bonded labor - or debt bondage - is probably the least known form of slavery today, and yet it is the most widely used method of enslaving people. A person becomes a bonded laborer when their labor is demanded as a means of repayment for a loan. The person is then tricked or trapped into working for very little or no pay, often for seven days a week. The value of their work is invariably greater than the original sum of money borrowed. </li></ul>

Sex and Cinco de Mayo <ul><li>On May 4, 2011, Ryan and Cindy Clark taught a course on cooking Mexican food with ladies involved with the Kalinga-Crossover, a ministry to sex workers in Baguio. Many of the girls who work in &quot;Massage Parlors&quot; are not allowed to go out on their own, to attend classes or Bible study. This is a key signal that they are not in Baguio on their own free will and that they've been trafficked. </li></ul>
