Don, I agree with your post. John specifically spoke of human "trafficking" - that's the trade in human beings bought and sold as property - or in other words slavery. As far as my own post was concerned, I use the term "slavery" to mean nothing less: people forced against their will into slavery.

It angers me that the media use the term 'sex workers' to describe slaves, as there are of course many, many prostitutes who are perfectly content with *their choice* of work. It's an utter nonsense to conflate forced slavery with a willingly chosen profession.

Similarly, while we may object to children working in other countries, if they are bringing home a wage to their family, then it's a slightly different situation to where children in India are being abducted from their homes and sold into slavery.
